Draw the best Lewis structure for CH 3 -1. What is the formal charge on the C?

Chemistry

djyliett [7]3 years ago

Answer :  The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, CH_3^{-1}

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CH_3^{-1} = 4 + 3(1) + 1 = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge on carbon atom.

Formula for formal charge :

\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}

\text{Formal charge on C}=4-2-\frac{6}{2}=-1

The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.

Balance each of the following examples of heterogeneous equilibria and write each Kc expression. Then calculate the value of Kc
marysya [2.9K]

Explanation:

1) 2 Al(s) + 2 NaOH(aq) + 6 H_2O(l) \longleftrightarrow 2 Na[Al(OH)_4](aq) + 7 H_2(g)

Kc=\frac{[Na[Al(OH)_4]]^2*[H_2]^7}{[NaOH]^2}

The Kc for the reverse reaction is the inverse of the Kc of the reaction:

Kc_{reverse}=\frac{1}{Kc}=\frac{1}{11}=0.091

2) H_2O(l) + SO_3(g) \longleftrightarrow H_2SO_4 (aq)

Kc=\frac{[H_2SO_4]}{[SO_3]^2}

The Kc for the reverse reaction is the inverse of the Kc of the reaction:

Kc_{reverse}=\frac{1}{Kc}=\frac{1}{0.0123}=81.3

3)  P_4(s) + 3 O_2(g) \longleftrightarrow P_4O_6(s)

Kc=\frac{1}{[O_2]^3}

The Kc for the reverse reaction is the inverse of the Kc of the reaction:

Kc_{reverse}=\frac{1}{Kc}=\frac{1}{1.56}=0.641

Explain why CaCl2 is likely to have properties similar to those of CaBr2
qaws [65]

Answer:

Because both CaCl2 and CaBr2 both contain elements (Chlorine and Bromine) from the same group (group 7)

Explanation:

Elements are placed into different groups in the periodic table. Elements in the same group are those that have the same number of valence electrons in their outermost shell and as a result will behave similar chemically i.e. will react with other elements in the same manner.

Chlorine and Bromine are two elements belonging to group 7 of the periodic table. They are called HALOGENS and they have seven valence electrons in their outermost shell. Hence, when they form a compound with Calcium, a group two element, these compounds (CaCl2 and CaBr2) will possess similar properties because they have elements that are from the same group (halogen group).
