Answer :
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.
The given molecule is,
Beryllium has '2' valence electrons and fluorine has '7' valence electrons. Beryllium is the central atom and fluorine is the terminal atom.
Total number valence electrons in = 2 + 2(7) = 16
According to the Lewis-dot structure, there are '4' number of bonding electrons and 12 number of non-bonding electrons (lone-pair).
The Lewis-dot structure is shown below.
<u>Answer:</u> The correct statement is low temperature only, because entropy decreases during freezing.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The relationship between Gibb's free energy, enthalpy, entropy and temperature is given by the equation:
Where,
= change in Gibb's free energy
= change in enthalpy
T = temperature
= change in entropy
It is given that freezing of methane is taking place, which means that entropy is decreasing and is becoming negative. It is also given that the reaction is an exothermic reaction, this means that the
is also negative.
For a reaction to be spontaneous, must be negative.
From above equations, it is visible that will be negative only when the temperature will be low.
Hence, the correct statement is low temperature only, because entropy decreases during freezing.
