There are zero lone pairs of electrons on the central carbon atom in a Lewis Structure of CHI3. The correct option is b.
Explanation:
Lone pair electrons are those valence electrons of an atom which do not take part in bonding or left after the bonds are formed.
CH
carbon is the central atom in the compound having 4 valence electrons.
Each iodine molecule has 7 valence electrons.
H has 1 valence electron.
from the Lewis structure of CH, it is seen that all four valence electrons of the carbon is involved in bonding with 3 atoms of iodine and 1 atom of hydrogen.
Thus when all valence electrons are involved in bonding no lone pair of electron is found in CH that means zero lone pairs of electrons.
The octet of the iodine, carbon and hydrogen gets completed to form the compound.
Answer:
Increase the pressure of the gas
Explanation:
According to the Pressure law, for a fixed mass of gas, at a constant volume (V), the pressure (P) is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (T).
From the kinetic molecular theory, gases are composed of particles which are in constant motion, colliding with themselves as well as with the walls of their container.
When the temperature of these gas molecules is increased, the molecules acquire more kinetic energy and the rate of collisions increases. Since the container cannot expand, the increase in pressure is due to the increase in collisions between the molecules of the gas as well as with the walls of their container.
I believe the answer is: in order not to write very big or very small number values
Atom is the smallest indivisible particle of matter.
I think the answer is white sand (sorry if i am wrong)
