Answer:
4, 16,
Explanation:
SI2 is sulphur diiodide. Sulphur is in group sixteen (six valence electrons) while iodine is in group 17(seven valence electrons).
Since there are two iodine atoms and one sulphur atom, the molecule has twenty valence electrons. Out of these twenty valence electrons, only four are bonding electrons. The other sixteen electrons include the four nonbonding electrons found on sulphur and the twelve non bonding electrons found on the two iodine atoms having six nonbonding electrons each.
Answer: 
Explanation:
Firstly we need to know that 
, then we cam make the conversion:
This is the height of Mount Everest in feet
However, we can express it using scientific notation by counting to the left the decimal spaces:
Answer: The bond between boron and hydrogen in boron trihydride is covalent bond.
Explanation:
The type of bonding between the atoms forming a compound is determined by using the electronegativity difference between the atoms. According to the pauling's electronegativity rule:
- If
, then the bond is non-polar. - If
, then the bond will be covalent. - If
, then the bond will be ionic.
We are given:
Electronegativity for boron = 2.0
Electronegativity for hydrogen = 2.1
As, 
is less than 1.7 and not equal to 0. Hence, the bond between boron and hydrogen is covalent bond.
Pluto is a dwarf planet, but one of the largest known members, in the Kuiper belt.
The Kuiper Belt extends between 30 AU and 55 AU from the Sun
(1 AU = 1.5 × 10^8 km = distance from Earth to Sun).
Pluto's orbit is highly elliptical. It ranges from 30 AU to 50 AU. When Pluto is closest to the Sun, it is inside the orbit of Neptune (30 AU).
Astronomers class Pluto as a <em>resonant Kuiper belt object</em> (KBO). Because it gets so close to Neptune, its orbit is in <em>resonance</em> with that of Neptune. Pluto makes two orbits for every three of Neptune.
