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.

When heated strongly, copper metal incorporates oxygen to form one of the copper oxides from the last problem. In one experiment

Answer:

1 mol of copper

Explanation:

The mass of the oxide formed is the total mass less the crucible mass, so it is:

100.52 - 88.00 = 12.52 g

It means that 10.00 g is from copper, and 2.52 g is from oxygen. The molar mass of copper is 63.50 g/mol, and the molar mass of oxygen is 16 g/mol. The number of moles (n) is the mass divided by the molar mass:

n Cu = 10.00/63.50 = 0.158 moles

n O = 2.52/16 = 0.158 moles

So, there is the same number of moles of each element, and the product must be: CuO, which has 1 mol of copper.

Answer:

Increased Heat, Drought, and Insect outbreaks.

Explanation:

Increased heat, drought and insect outbreaks, all linked to climate change, have increased wildfires. Declining water supplies, reduced agricultural yields, health impacts in cities due to heat, and flooding and erosion in coastal areas are additional concerns.
