To draw a complete lewis structure of one molecule of water, how many electrons must be shown?

Chemistry

Ipatiy [6.2K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Total 8 electrons.

Explanation:

To draw a complete lewis structure in water molecule we will calculate the total number of valence electrons

Valence electrons:

Two hydrogen atoms: 2 valence electrons (one each)

One oxygen atom : 6 valence electrons

So total there will be 8 electrons that must be shown in the structure.

Out of these 8, four will be involved in two covalent bonds

Rest four will be in the form of two lone pair of electrons on oxygen atom.

In the Lewis structure, each single bond drawn between elements contain two electrons. The electron dots represent the lone pairs. These are the electrons that take part in the reaction. To obey the octet rule, the oxygen must have eight electrons around it. The hydrogen is exempted from this rule. Therefore, you have to show two electrons.

What is the value of the activation energy of the uncatalyzed reaction?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The value of the activation energy of an uncatalyzed reaction is greater than that of a catalyzed reaction. As we know, a catalyst provides an alternative path for the reaction to happen at a faster rate. So, for a catalyzed reactio, activation energy is lesser than the original path.

What types of rock make up the continental crust?
zlopas [31]

There are two types of rocks that make up the continental crust "sedimentary and metamorphic rocks." Sedimentary rocks are formed with pressure and compaction, and metamorphic rocks are made with heat and pressure. The earth's crust itself is made up of sedimentary rocks because they are mainly found a little under earths crust same goes with metamorphic rocks.

Hope this helps!
