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.

The pressure that is the difference between the net hydrostatic pressure and the net colloid osmotic pressure is called
mina [271]

The pressure calculated as the difference between the net hydrostatic pressure and the net colloid osmotic pressure is known as: filtration pressure.

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

Pressure can be defined as a measure of the force exerted per unit area of an object or body. Thus, it is usually measured in Newton per meter square.

<h3>The types of pressure.</h3>

In Science, there are different types of pressure and these include the following:

  • Hydrostatic pressure
  • Atmospheric pressure
  • Osmotic pressure
  • Filtration pressure

Filtration pressure is a pressure that is typically calculated as the difference between the net hydrostatic pressure and the net colloid osmotic pressure. Also, it promotes the filtration of fluid through a membrane.

It would be most similar to neon. it wouldn’t be sulfur because that’s in the same group as oxygen and has the same number of electrons. and carbon has less than that so the only one that makes sense is neon
