Answer:

See attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering that Lewis structures are drawn in order to show up the bonding among equal or different atoms via their valence electrons, since hydrogen has one valence electron, silicon four and phosphorous five, the most suitable way to draw and attain the octet for both silicon and phosphorous is by bonding them via a double bond, one hydrogen bonded to the phosphorous and two hydrogen atoms bonded to the silicon as shown on the attached picture, wherein you can count eight electrons for both phosphorous and silicon.

Best regards.

What is chemical potential energy?
tigry1 [53]

Chemical potential energy: chemical potential of a species is energy that can be absorbed or released due to a change of the particle number of the given species, in a chemical reaction or phase transition

Gasoline used as kinetic energy: the various chemicals that make up gasoline contain a large amount of chemical potential energy that is released when the gasoline is burned in a controlled way in the engine of the car. The release of that energy does two things. Some of the potential energy is transformed into work, which is used to move the car

Dynamite used as kinetic energy: the dynamite being used was most likely made of nitroglycerin. Once the dynamite explodes from a percussion force (then breaking of weak bonds to releasing the raw atom) the energy is then converted to thermal, kinetic, and sound energy.

What is the basic definition of carbohydrates
ikadub [295]

Carbohydrates are substances that are found in foods such as bread and pasta, which provide the body with heat and energy. Chemically, carbohydrates are made of three kinds of elements namely carbon , hydrogen and oxygen.

Carbohydrates are separated into two main categories, simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates.  

Simple carbohydrates are those that contain one or two sugar molecules linked together. Complex carbohydrates are those that contain  three or more sugar molecules linked together. In some cases these chains can contain hundreds of sugar molecules.
