Draw all of the Lewis structures of O2 which obey the octet rule and use this Lewis structure or these resonance structures to p

redict how many covalent bonds connect each oxygen atom in the real structure to the central O atom. Assume that the octet rule is followed for the O atom when you draw your structure(s). Pick the correct statement from the choices below. a) Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 1.67 covalent bonds. b) Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 1.33 covalent bonds. c) Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 2 covalent bonds. d) Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 1.5 covalent bonds. e) Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 1.25 covalent bonds.

Answer:

Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 2 covalent bonds.

Explanation:

Oxygen atoms are connected by two covalent bonds in the oxygen molecule from the Lewis structure, we see that the bond order for O2 is 2 (a double bond) this is clearly seen in the image attached. There are no resonance structures for the oxygen molecule since there are no partial bonds in the molecule, only the two covalent bonds present.

This structure of oxygen shown in the image is its only structure, showing the covalent bonds formed and other non bonding electrons present in the molecule. The octet rule is followed in drawing the structure. Each oxygen atom possesses an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.

So basically, the change in color effects the amount of cations in the solution making it a physical change rather than a chemical one, defying the law of conservation of mass! I hope this helped! (The only time the change in color affects the amount of cations is in the Alkaline Earth Metals)

How is beryllium similar to calcium?<br>​
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The second column on the periodic table of the chemical elements is collectively called the alkaline earth metal group: beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. Because the outer electron structure in all of these elements is similar, they all have somewhat similar chemical and physical properties.

Какая масса хлора и какое количество вещества необходимо для реакции с 12г магния при получении хлорида магния?
Naddika [18.5K]
Mg + Cl₂ = MgCl₂M(Mg) = 24г/моль  m 1 моль Mg = 24 г.По условию задачи дано 12г. Mg  Количество вещества n(Mg) =12÷24=0,5 мольРассуждаем: по уравнению реакции  с 1 моль магния реагирует 1 моль хлора, следовательно с 0,5 моль будет реагировать 0,5 моль хлора.1 моль хлора при н.у. занимает объем 22,4л. , тогда 0,5 моль хлора займет:0,5х22,4л.= 11,2л. Ответ: Для взаимодействии 12 г.  магния потребуется 11,2 л. хлора.
