Visual representation of covalent bonding indicating the valence shell electrons in the molecule, lines represents the shared pair of electron and pair of electrons that are not involved in bonding are represented as dots(lone pairs) are known as Lewis structures.

Compound formation takes place in order to complete the octet of each element that is according to octet rule, each atom forms bond with other atom in order to complete their octet that is to get eight electrons in its valence shell and attain stability.

An organic compound of the form R^{'}R^{''}C=C=O is known as ketene.

The given ketene is C_2H_2O.

The number of valence electron of:

C = 4

H = 1

O = 6

The number of valence electrons in C_2H_2O = 2\times 4+2\times 1+1\times 6 =16

2 electrons are involved in each single bond between carbon and hydrogen and 4 electrons are involved in each double bond formed between carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen. Hence, the total number of electrons involved in bond formation are 12 and rest 2 pair of electrons are present on oxygen as lone pair of electrons.

Therefore, the attached image is the Lewis structure of C_2H_2O .

Complete balanced equation: 2HNO₃  +  Ca(OH)₂  →  Ca(NO₃)₂  +  2H₂O

Ionized equation (with spectator ions): 
   2H⁺  +  2NO₃⁻  +  Ca²⁺  +  2OH⁻   →  Ca²⁺  +  2NO₃⁻  +  2H₂O

By eliminating the ions that are the same of both sides of the equation (spectator ions):

A compound containing chromium, Cr; chlorine, Cl; and oxygen, O, is analyzed and found to be 33.6% chromium, 45.8% chlorine, and
Assoli18 [71]

Answer

The empirical formula is CrO₂Cl₂

Explanation:

Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of an atom present in a compound.

The compound contain, Chromium=33.6%

                                         Chlorine=45.8%

                                          Oxygen=20.6%

And the molar mass of Chromium(Cr)=51.996 g mol.

                 Chlorine containing molar mass (Cl)= 35.45    g mol.

                 Oxygen containing molar mass (O)=15.999  g mol.

Step-1

 Then,we will get,

Cr=\frac{1}{51.996} \times33.6=0.64 mol

Cl= \frac{1}{35.45} \times45.8=1.29 mol.

O=\frac{1}{15.99} \times=1.28 mol.

Step-2

Divide the mole value with the smallest number of mole, we will get,

Cr= \frac{0.64}{0.64} =1

Cl= \frac{1.29}{0.64} =2

O= \frac{1.28}{0.64} =2

Then, the empirical formula of the compound is CrO₂Cl₂ (Chromyl chloride)

To whoever helps me thank you so much have a wonderful day!
Schach [20]

Answer:

N and P

Explanation:

Anion:

When an atom gain the electrons anion is formed. The negative sign shows that atom gain electron because number of electron are greater than protons or we can say that negative charge becomes greater than positive charge.

Cation:

When atom lose electron cation is formed. The atom thus have positive charge because number of positive charge i.e protons are increased are greater than negative charge or electron.

In given problem N and phosphorus both can gain three electrons which means negative charge becomes greater that's why the extra electron gained by atoms are written as -3 and both form anion with charge -3.

while Al form cation with charge +3 Mg form cation with charge +2 and iodine and bromine both form anion with charge of -1.
