How important is the resonance structure shown here to the overall structure of carbon dioxide?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago
6 0

1. Resonance structures are a better description of a Lewis dot structure .

2. Best resonance structure is the one with the least formal charge.


<u>EXPLAINATION OF RASONANCE STRUCTURE OF CARBON DIOXIDE</u>

1.Carbon dioxide has three resonance structures .

2. The CO2 molecule has a total of 16 valence electrons ,

  1C = 4 electrons

  2O= 12 electrons

<u>three resonance structures for  CO2</u>

1. The atoms in all three resonance structures have full octets;

 structure 1 will be more stable because it has no separation of charge.

2. Structures 2 and 3 show charge separation caused by the presence of formal charges on both oxygen atoms.

If a car can go from 0 to 60 mi/hr in 8.0 seconds, what would be its final speed after 5.0 seconds if its starting speed were 50
tangare [24]

Answer:

87.5 mi/hr

Explanation:

Because a = Δv / Δt (a = vf - vi/ Δt), we need to find the acceleration first to know the change in velocity so we can determine the final velocity.

vf = 60 mi/hr

vi = 0 mi/hr

Δt = 8 secs

a = vf - vi/ Δt

= 60 mi/hr - 0 mi/hr/ 8 secs

= 60 mi/hr / 8 secs

= 7.5 mi/hr^2

Now that we know the acceleration of the car is 7. 5 mi/hr^2, we can substitute it in the acceleration formula to find the final velocity when the initial velocity is 50 mi/hr after 5 secs.

vi = 50 mi/ hr

Δt = 5 secs

a = 7.5 mi/ hr^2

a = vf - vi/ Δt

7.5 = vf - 50 mi/hr / 5 secs

37.5 = vf - 50

87.5 mi/ hr = vf

Distinguish between a solution in general and an aqueous solution
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

  • What distinguish a solution in general from an aqueous solution is the solvent. A solution in general may contain any solvent, which may be solid, liquid or gas, while an aqueous solution is formed with water as solvent.

Explanation:

A solution in general is a homogeneous mixture in which a substance, named solute, is dissolved, in other substance, name solvent.

Solutions may be in solid, liquid or gas state. There are many kind of solvents. Usually, in a lab you work with liquid solutions. Some liquid solvents are: ethanol, glycerin, hexane, benzene, and water, among many others.

Aqueous solution is a solution where the solvent is water. Of course, the solute may be any one: NaCl, sugar, ethanol, an acid, a base, a salt.

What distinguish a solution in general and an aqueous solution is the solvent.

Which of these elements has an atom with the most stable outer electron configuration? * Cl Ca Ne Na
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure

Explanation:

The configuration of these elements is as follows;

Cl₁₇ = 2, 8,7 (the outer electron is 7)

Ca₂₀ = 2,8,8,2 (the outer electron is 2)

Ne₁₀ = 2,8 (the outer electron is 8)

Na₁₁ = 2,8,1 (the outer electron is 1)

Based on the outer electron value above, Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure.
