Formal charge can be calculated from the following formula

Formal charge = valency of central atom - (number of lone pair of electrons + number of covalent bonds)

a) for methylene:

Formal charge = 4 -( 2+ 2) = 0

b) For methyl free radical

Formal charge = 4- (3 +1) = 0

Can you find the error?<br> MgOH2

Ira Lisetskai [31]

The error is in the formula is bracket so the correct is Mg(OH)₂

The incorrect or error in the formula is bracket that would be that the compound contain only 1Mg atom and 1 oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atom but is wrong when you write it in an electron dot diagram you will see that it is wrong there be unshared paired of electron and the correct formula is Mg(OH)₂

A mole equals 6.02 x 10^23 . Answer these questions below.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

1. 1.25 mol ants x 6.02*10^23 ants/1 mol ants = 7.53*10^23 ants

2. 4.92*10^26 pencils x 1 mol pencils/6.02*10^23 pencils = 817 mol pencils

3. 0.26 mol molecules x 6.02*10^23 molecules/1 mol molecules = 1.6*10^23 molecules

4. 3.46*10^19 molecules x 1 mol molecules/6.02*10^23 molecules = 5.75*10^-5 mol molecules

5. 5.3*10^20 atoms x 1 mol atoms/6.02*10^23 atoms = 8.8 mol atoms

6. 0.11 mol atoms x 6.02*10^23 atoms/1 mol atoms = 6.6*10^22 atoms

I would suggest looking into "dimensional analysis" for help with this type of material. Dimensional analysis will stick with you all throughout chemistry, so picking it up will be extremely beneficial.
