Dicarbon monoxide, C2O, is found in dust clouds in space. Analysis of it shows that the sequence of atoms in this molecule is C–

C–O. All bonds are double bonds and there are no unpaired electrons. How many lone pairs of electrons are present in a molecule of C2O?

Carbon dioxide has 4 lone pairs of electrons. During bonding, the bonds accounts for 8 electrons of the 16 valence electrons the molecule has. The remaining 8 valence electrons will be placed as lone pairs, two on each oxygen atom. As a result carbon dioxide molecule has a total 4  lone pairs of electrons. Dicarbon monoxide is a molecule that contains two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom.  A lone pair refers to a pair of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom and is some times called a non-bonding pair. Lone pairs are found in the outermost electron shell of atoms.

Sam follows the directions on a box of pancake mix. The box says that it makes 10 pancakes, but he is able to make 8 pancakes fr
Mice21 [21]

Given that the pancake mix can be used for the preparation of 10 pancakes. The other ingredients added to the pancake mix would be eggs, cheese, milk, salt and baking soda. If all of thee ingredients are added to the pan cake mix in required proportions, we can make 10 pan cakes. So, the theoretical yield will be 10 pancakes. But in real Sam was able to prepare only 8 pancakes. That means the number of pancakes produced was limited by the amount of other ingredients. So, the actual yield will be 8 pancakes.

Hence the correct answer B) Theoretical yield

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

The bond angle between the Si-O-Si is 145° .But this can also vary between 100° and 170°,  It is because of which the changes in properties is happening. Bond angles can affect the hybridization, lone pair repulsion and electronegativity.

Thus , Space shuttle tiles, sandstone, and the glass in quartz have different properties and are used according to their property.
