Answer: The pair of valence electrons that do not participate in the bonding are lone pairs.

Explanation:

There are 2 types of pair of electrons that are studied in the bonding. They are:

Bonding pairs: These pair of electrons participate in the bond formation. They exist as bonds in a molecule. They are also known as bond pairs.
Non-bonding pairs: These pair of electrons do not participate in the bond formation. They exist as lone pairs in a molecule.

Oxygen is the 8th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^22p^4$

Number of valence electrons = (2 + 4) = 6

Oxygen needs 2 electrons to complete its octet. When another oxygen combines, they share 2 electrons each forming a double bond.

The Lewis dot structure of oxygen molecule is given below.

Hence, the pair of valence electrons that do not participate in the bonding are lone pairs.

Answer:

Nonbonding pairs of electrons.

Explanation:

Both oxygen atoms in the diatomic molecule have two nonbonding pairs. This results in the oxygen molecule having a planar geometric shape. This is because nonbonding pairs repel each other are significant in determining the shape of a molecule.

What is the specific heat capacity of an unknown metal if 75.00 g of the metal absorbs 418.6J of heat and the temperature rises

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.223 $\frac{J}{g*C}$

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

There is a direct proportional relationship between heat and temperature. The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body as on its mass, and is the product of the specific heat by the mass of the body. So, the equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case, you know:

Q= 418.6 J
c= ?
m= 75 g
ΔT= 25 C

Replacing:

418.6 J= c* 75 g* 25 C

Solving:

$c=\frac{418.6 J}{75 g*25 C}$

c= 0.223 $\frac{J}{g*C}$

The specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.223 $\frac{J}{g*C}$

How much heat does it take to melt 2.5 kg of lead when it is at its melting point (m.p. = 327.5°C; Hf = 2.04 × 104 J/kg)?

irinina [24]

1. the amount of heat that it would take would be :
5.1 x 10^4 J

2. I think the substance would be : Iron

3. the amount of heat required would be :
1.13 x 10^4 kJ

Hope this helps
