Answer : The Lewis-dot structure are 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. The valence electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $NOF$

In this molecule, the nitrogen atom is a less electronegative element as compared to oxygen and fluorine. So, the nitrogen is the central atom and oxygen and nitrogen are the neighboring atoms.

As we know that the nitrogen has '5' valence electrons, oxygen has '6' and fluorine has '7' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $NOF$ = 5 + 6 + 7 = 18

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 12 number of non-bonding electrons.

The Lewis-dot structure are shown below.

If the half-life of a radioisotope is 10,000 years, the amount remaining after 20,000 years is

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Considering the half-life of 10,000 years, after 20,000 years we will have a fourth of the remaining amount.

Explanation:

The half-time is the time a radioisotope takes to decay and lose half of its mass. Therefore, we can make the following scheme to know the amount remaining after a period of time:

Time_________________ Amount

t=0_____________________x

t=10,000 years____________x/2

t=20,000 years___________x/4

During the first 10,000 years the radioisotope lost half of its mass. After 10,000 years more (which means 2 half-lives), the remaining amount also lost half of its mass. Therefore, after 20,000 years, the we will have a fourth of the initial amount.

Consider that calcium metal reacts with oxygen gas in the air to form calcium oxide. suppose we react 7.43 mol calcium with 4.00

Natali [406]

The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2Ca + O₂ --> 2CaO
stoichiometry of Ca to O₂ is 2:1
this means that 2 mol of Ca reacts with 1 mol of O₂.
If O₂ is the limiting reactant,
4 mol of O₂ should react with (4x2) - 8 mol of Ca
however only 7.43 mol of Ca is present. Therefore Ca is the limiting reactant.
7.43 mol of Ca reacts with - 7.43/2 = 3.715 mol of O₂
therefore there's excess O₂₂ remaining after the reaction
Since Ca is the limiting reactant, it is fully used up in the reaction and there is no Ca remaining after the reaction is completed.

Elaborate on how to classify elements and pure compounds.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer: C) Elements and pure compounds are homogeneous materials because they have a uniform composition throughout.

Explanation: Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements. Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

Elements are compounds form homogeneous materials as they have uniform composition throughout and the components are evenly distributed throughout the material.

Mixtures are heterogeneous materials as they do not have uniform composition and the components are not evenly distributed throughout the material.
