Answer:

1. For the central boron atom:

A. The number of lone pairs = 0.

B. The number of single bonds = 3.

C. The number of double bonds = 0.

2. The central boron atom B. Has an incomplete octet.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, as shown on the attached picture containing the required Lewis structure of boron chloride, we can see that:

1. For the central boron atom:

A. The number of lone pairs = 0 since all the three valance electrons are bonded with the chlorine atoms.

B. The number of single bonds = 3 as each chlorine atom needs only one bond to obey the octet.

C. The number of double bonds = 0 considering the previous explanation.

2. The central boron atom B. Has an incomplete octet since it reaches six electrons only from its initial three and other three provided by the three chlorine atoms.

Regards.

What is the conclusive evidence that mixing sugar in the water is a physical change
djyliett [7]
THE DEFINITION OF PHYSICAL CHANGE: Physical changes are changes affecting the form of a chemical substance, but not its chemical composition. Physical changes are used to separate mixtures into their component compounds, but can not usually be used to separate compounds into chemical elements or simpler compounds. so the answer is that the form of the sugar is changing in water but if you boiled the water till its all evaporated all that will be left is the sugar
