<span>In H2CO, C is bonded to H, H and O. Write down the valence electrons of each element.
2 H = 1x 2 = 2.
C= 4
O = 6
Total 12 </span>
Because that's where they come from. Coal, oil, and natural gas are the products
of dead dinosaurs rotting in the ground under great pressure for millions of years.
Answer:
- <em>The net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride is </em><u><em>zero (0).</em></u>
<em>Explanation:</em>
<em>Ionic compounds,</em> such as covalent ones, have zero net charge; this is, they are neutral.
Substances with net positive charge are cations and substances with net negative charge are anions.
The charges in the <em>ionic compound calcium flouride</em> are distributed in this way:
- Calcium charge: Ca²⁺: this is, each calcium ion has a 2 positive charge
- Fluoride charge: F⁻: each fluoride ion has a 1 negative charge.
- Then, the <em>net charge</em> is: 1 × (2+) + 2 × (1-) = +2 - 2 = 0.
So, a two positve charge, from one calcium ion, is equal to two negative charges, from two fluoride tions, yielding a <u>zero net charge</u>.
Answer:
a)The force of attraction between particles of gas is negligible. Because of this, particles of gas move in all directions. Thus, a gas fills the vessel completely in which it is kept.
b)Because of negligible force of attraction between particles of gas, the particles of gas have the highest kinetic energy. These properties enable the particles of gas to move in all directions and hit the walls of container from all sides. Because of this a gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container in which it is kept.
c): A wooden table has fixed shape and fixed volume, which are the main characteristics of solid. Thus a wooden table should be called a solid.
