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.

How are tectonic plates related to earthquakes and volcanoes?
patriot [66]

Answer

Tectonic plates are parts of the earth's crust. There are cracks in these plates that allow magma to seep through and build-up which creates volcanic eruptions. Volcanos themselves are created by the earth's plates pushing against each other and slowly, over time, rising to create these large raises in the crust. Earthquakes are caused by these plates creating friction against one another until they forcefully overlap or rip apart, hence the shaking effect during an earthquake.

Using the periodic table to locate each element, write the electron configuration of(c) Re.
Aleksandr [31]

Rhenium is a chemical element with the symbol Re and atomic number 75. The electron configuration of Re is [Xe] 6s^{2} 4f^{14} 5d^{5}.

<h3>How to write an electronic configuration?</h3>

1. Identify the given element and its atomic number from the periodic table.

2. Write the electron configuration by the energy level and the type of orbital first, then the number of electrons present in the orbital as superscript.

The easiest way to write the electronic configuration for any element is by   using a diagonal rule for electron filling order in the different subshells according to the Aufbau principle.

The 3 rules for writing the electron configuration in the orbital box diagram are – the Aufbau rule, the Pauli-exclusion rule, and Hund's Rule.
