Answer:

Charge on X = (+ 2)

Explanation:

Charge on one Cl = -1

So Charge on two Cl = -2

The molecule = Neutral = 0 charge

So, to make total charge = 0 , the X should have +2 charge

XCl2 = +2 -2 = 0

X = +2

Alkaline earth metals(Be , Mg , Ca , Sr) form such type of compounds.

Example :

$MgCl_{2}$

$CaCl_{2}$

Select the true statements regarding these resonance structures of formate.? Each carbon-oyxgen bond is somewhere between a sing

son4ous [18]

Answer : Option 1) The true statement is each carbon-oxygen bond is somewhere between a single and double bond and the actual structure of format is an average of the two resonance forms.

Explanation : The actual structure of formate is found to be a resonance hybrid of the two resonating forms. The actual structure for formate do not switches back and forth between two resonance forms.

The O atom in the formate molecule with one bond and three lone pairs, in the resonance form left with reference to the attached image, gets changed into O atom with two bonds and two lone pairs.

Again, the O atom with two bonds and two lone pairs on the resonance form left, changed into O atom with one bond and three lone pairs. It concludes that each carbon-oxygen bond is neither a single bond nor a double bond; each carbon-oxygen bond is somewhere between a single and double bond.

Also, it is seen that each oxygen atom does not have neither a double bond nor a single bond 50% of the time.

Which of the following processes will determine the number of moles in a sample? Dividing the mass of the sample by Avogadro's n

Olenka [21]

The answer is: Dividing the number of molecules in the sample by Avogadro's number.

The Avogadro’s number is the number of atoms in 12 grams of the isotope carbon-12 (¹²C).

Na is Avogadro number or Avogadro constant (the number of particles, in this example carbon, that are contained in the amount of substance given by one mole).

The Avogadro number has value 6.022·10²³ 1/mol in the International System of Units; Na = 6.022·10²³ 1/mol.

For example:

N(Ba) = 2.62·10²³; number of atoms of barium.

n(Ba) = N(Ba) ÷ Na.

n(Ba) = 1.3·10²⁴ ÷ 6.022·10²³ 1/mol.

n(Ba) = 2.158 mol; amount of substance of barium.
