Well you would think yeah because it’s a liquid but the answer is no
Answer is: c. It is incorrect because sodium phosphate is a compound that has a single composition.
Sodium phosphate is chemical compound composed of atoms connected with chemical bonds.
Pure substance is made of only one type of atom (element) or only one type of molecule (compound), it has definite and constant composition with distinct chemical properties.
Pure substances can be separated chemically, not physically, that is difference between pure substances and mixtures.
To create the Lewis structure we need to take into account the octet rule: atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.
C belongs to Group 4A in the periodic table so it has 4 valence electrons. It needs to share 4 pairs of electrons to complete the octet.
F belongs to Group 7A in the periodic table so it has 7 valence electrons. Each F needs to share 1 pair of electrons to complete the octet.
As a consequence, in CF₄, C will form a single bond with each F and all the octets will be complete.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
HCl and KCl
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- Strong electrolytes are strong bases and acids.
- HCl is a strong acid; it dissociates completely to form H+ and Cl- ions. Thus, it is a strong, rather than weak, electrolyte.
- CH3COOH is acetic acid, a weak acid. Only some of it will dissociate (to H+ and acetate ions), thus, it will only be a weak electrolyte.
- NH3 will react with water as a weak base: NH3 + H2O → NH4+ + OH-. It will thus also be a weak electrolyte.
- KCl is a soluble ionic compound, and as such, it will be a strong electrolyte.
