Answer:

1. 36

2. Two

Explanation:

The Lewis structure shows the valence electrons present in a compound. Usually the valence electrons are shown as dot structures around the symbol of the elements involved in the compound.

For a compound AB4 where B is more electronegative than A and A has 8 electrons in its valence shell, there will be thirty six valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.

There are six electron pair domains present in the molecule, four bond pairs and two lone pairs. The molecule is in a square planar geometry.

Calculate the number of moles of BaF2 in a 10.0 g sample of BaF2.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The number of moles = 0.06 moles

Explanation:

i) Formula

Number of moles = Mass of the sample ÷ Molar masses of the substances

ii) Number of moles = 10.0 ÷ (137)+(19×2)

= 10.0 ÷ 175

= 0.06 moles
