Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

For an atom to be stable in nature, it is required that the atom must have more number of neutrons as compared to protons.

But if the atom has more number of protons then due like positive charge more repulsion will occur inside the nucleus and therefore, the atom will become unstable. This is because then electrostatic force of repulsion will be greater than the nuclear binding force.

Thus, we can conclude that a stable atom that has a large nucleus most likely contains more neutrons than protons.

Draw the Lewis dot structure for RbIO2. Include all hydrogen atoms and nonbonding electrons. Show the formal charges of all atom

Rzqust [24]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of $RbIO_2$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $RbIO_2$

As we know that rubidium has '1' valence electrons, iodine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $RbIO_2$ = 1 + 7 + 2(6) = 20

As we know that $RbIO_2$ is an ionic compound because it is formed by the transfer of electron takes place from metal to non-metal element.

What effect does<br>hybridization have on boods,

Alchen [17]

Hybridisation influences the bond length and bond enthalpy strength in organic compounds. The sp hybrid orbital contains more s character and hence it is closer to its nucleus and forms shorter and stronger bonds than the sp3 hybrid orbital.

What substance is added during hydrolysis in order to break down food macromolecules?

TEA [102]

Hey there! :D

Look at the word hydrolysis. Hydro= water Lysis = split. (Root words)

So, water (in terms of the word) is added to help split and breakdown macromolecules.

I hope this helps!
