The number of bonding electrons and the number of nonbonding electrons in the structure of OF₂ are 2,8

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

OF₂ or oxygen difluoride is one of the chemical compound. This molecule adopts a "bent" molecular geometry similar to that of water, but it has very different properties such as being a strong oxidizer.

A bonding electron is an electron involved in chemical bonding. Whereas a non-bonding electron is an electron that not involved in chemical bonding .

Bonding electron or bond pairs are a pair of electrons (one from the central atom and one with the atom which is bonding) and participate in the bonding of the atom.

Non-bonding electron or nshared pair or lone pair refers to a pair of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom in a covalent bond. Lone pairs are found in the outermost electron shell of atoms. They can be identified by using a Lewis structure.

Lewis structure rules are as follows:

Pair of bonded electrons is by means of a dash (-) are called a bond
Lone pairs or non-bonded electrons are represented by dots
Electron represent in the last shell of atoms are called valence electrons.

The lewis structure of OF₂ molecule is as shown as figure below

According to the picture, theare 2 bonding electrons and 8 nonbonding electrons

OF2 -
<span>O has 6 electrons in outer shell and F has 7 in its outer shell </span>
<span>Therefore, you have to account for 20 electrons total in the </span>
<span>structure (7+7+6 = 20) </span>
<span>therefore draw it linear first. F ---- O-----F </span>
<span>The two bonds take care of 4 electrons now you have to add another 16. </span>
<span>Therefore 3 lone pairs on each F and 2 lone pair on O. </span>
<span>If you check for formal charges, all the atoms are neutral </span>
<span>F will have 3 lone pairs + 1 bond = 7 electrons (bond = 1/2 electron for formal charge distribution) therefore both the F's are neutral </span>
<span>Now look at the O: it should have 6.. it has two lone pair and 2 bonds = 4 electrons and 2 bonds = 1 electron each = 2 electrons from bonds = 6 total electrons for formal charge which is exactly the # it should have. There is no need for any double bond in this as there are no charges to be separated. </span>
<span>Now if u look at the # of domains around O you will see if you include the lone pairs it has a sp3 hybridization (4 domains) therefore a tetrahedron which has 2 lone pairs and 2 bonds.. since there are two lone pairs, the lone pair/bond pair repulsion is so high it is going to repel the two Fluorines and form a bent structure, looks a lot like H2O. </span>

Bolt starts the race not moving, but then increased his speed until he reaches a top speed. Once Bolt reaches his top speed he m

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>In order to maintain speed, a moving object or person must move at a constant velocity</u>. Accelerating will increase the speed while decelerating will reduce the speed.

Hence, for Bolt to be able to maintain the top speed for a few seconds, he needs to move at a constant velocity.

The correct option is a.

Find the y-component of this

Alborosie

Answer:

-0.0789 m

Explanation:

Recall that the y-component comes associated with the sin(18.4) through the following trigonometric relationship:

y = 0.250 sin(-18.4) ≈ -0.0789 m

Notice it is negative since it is below the x-axis.

a cone is constructed by cutting a sector from a circular sheet of metal with radius . the cut sheet is then folded up and welde

Svet_ta [14]

The expression for the radius and height of the cone can be obtained from

the property of a function at the maximum point.

$The \ radius, \ of \ the \ base \ of \ the \ cone \ is \ \sqrt{ \dfrac{3}{4}} \times radius \ of \ circular \ sheet \ metal$

The height of the cone is half the length of the radius of the circular sheet metal.

Reasons:

The part used to form the cone = A sector of a circle

The length of the arc of the sector = The perimeter of the circle formed by the base of the cone.

$Volume \ of \ a \ cone = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3 \cdot h$

$Volume \ of \ a \ cone, \, V = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3 \cdot \sqrt{(s^2- r^2)}$

θ/360·2·π·s = 2·π·r

Where;

s = The radius of he circular sheet metal

h = s² - r²

$\dfrac{dV}{dr} = \dfrac{d}{dr} \left(\dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^3 \cdot \sqrt{(s^2- r^2)}\right) = \dfrac{\pi \cdot (3 \cdot r^2 \cdot s^2 - 4 \cdot r^4)}{\sqrt{(s^2- r^2)}} = 0$

3·r²·s² - 4·r⁴ = 0

3·r²·s² = 4·r⁴

3·s² = 4·r²

$\underline{\left \right. The \ radius, \, r =\sqrt{ \dfrac{3}{4}} \cdot s}$

$\underline{The \ height, \, h =\sqrt{s^2 - \dfrac{3}{4}\cdot s^2} = \dfrac{s}{2}}}$
