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.

liraira [26]

Answer:

110 degree

Explanation:

This is because Hybridization of an s orbital with all three p orbitals (px , py, and pz) results in four sp3 hybrid orbitals. sp3 hybrid orbitals are oriented at bond angle of 109.5 degrees from each other. This 109.5 degrees gives an arrangement of tetrahedral geometry

1. Why do scientists use a standard measurement system?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.Scientists use a shared system for reporting measurements called the International System of Units (SI). We use common measurement systems because science involves a lot of replication to confirm results. The most common system used in science is the metric system.

7<br>State two signification of melting?​
Juliette [100K]
The two liquids are different and so the melting points are different only because one represents an intermediate stage. It was a melting-point suppression effect, just like salt and ice, but it was much larger than anyone on the team had thought possible.

Calculate the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 1.495 moles of lioh in enough water to give a final volume of 750. m
zhenek [66]
Molarity can be defined as the number of moles of substance dissolved in 1 L of solution.
In the given question ,
number of LiOH moles - 1.495 mol
Dissolved volume - 750 mL
molarity is calculated for 1 L = 1000 mL
In 750 mL - 1.495 mol of LiOH is dissolved
Therefore in 1000 mL - 1.495 mol / 750 mL x 1000 = 1.99 mol
