Answer : The Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of SO_4^{2-} is shown below.

Explanation :

Resonance structure : Resonance structure is an alternating method or way of drawing a Lewis-dot structure for a compound.

Resonance structure is defined as any of two or more possible structures of the compound. These structures have the identical geometry but have different arrangements of the paired electrons. Thus, we can say that the resonating structure are just the way of representing the same molecule.

First we have to determine the Lewis-dot structure of SO_4^{2-}.

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, SO_4^{2-}

As we know that sulfur and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in SO_4^{2-} = 6 + 4(6) + 2 = 32

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 20 number of non-bonding electrons.

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of SO_4^{2-} is shown below.

while ionic compounds in the solid state do not conduct electricity, when they are melted, electric current
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ionic (or electrovalent) compounds conduct electricity when there they are in the aqueous state/solution because the charges of ions of these compounds are what carry the electric charges in the aqueous solution as a result of free movement within the aqueous solution which they do not "have" when in there solid state (where they have a highly restricted movement/compacted structure).

Which element has higher ionization energy? chlorine or carbon
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

chlorine has higher ionization than carbon

Explanation:

Chlorine is only one row below carbon, but it is three columns to the right in this case the IP of chlorine would be predicted to be greater than the IP of carbon.

State how you can tell from a dot and cross diagram that the particles in a compound are held together by ionic bonds
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

In diagram you have to show the electrons(dots) near to the more electronegative element by this you can show that this is an ionic bond.
