TLDR: zero.

Based on the number of valence electrons each element has, there will be 8 electrons that need placement in the diagram. Two pairs (4 electrons) are lost to the two hydrogens to form bonds with the oxygen, so the other two pairs are left as lone pairs attached to the oxygen.

You will have two lone pairs on the oxygen in the Lewis diagram BUT the question asks for how many lone pairs would be present along the hydrogen atom.

There will be no pairs of electrons along the hydrogen atoms, because the valence shell for the hydrogen atom is satisfied with the one atomic bond established with the oxygen.

The answer to this question is actually zero.

How do astronomers explain the formation of the milky way galaxy
nadezda [96]

Galaxy Formation.  One says that galaxies were born when vast clouds of gas and dust collapsed under their own gravitational pull, allowing stars to form. The other, which has gained strength in recent years, says the young universe contained many small "lumps" of matter, which clumped together to form galaxies.

Consider the chemical equation in equilibrium.
Andrew [12]
When pressure in a chemical reaction increases, the equilibrium will shift towards the side of the reaction with fewer moles of gas. When there is a decrease in pressure, the equilibrium will shift towards the side of the reaction with more moles of gas.Therefore; in this case; increased the Equilibrium will shift to the left and favor the reverse reaction. This is because the side of products has more moles compared to the side of reactants, thus increased in pressure will aid conversion of products to reactants.

Answer:

It causes erosion of the land and stones.

Explanation:

if the objects such as stones etc are present in the way of stream so the stones are eroded due to its fast flowing due to sloppy nature. If the stream is flat  then it little disturb the things present in its way because of its lower speed. If more rainfall occur the streams flows in higher speed and destroy everything that comes in its way and also affected the plains.
