Fresh water freezes faster
Answer:
The dots were not properly located and arrows are not used in Lewis structures
Explanation:
If we intend to write a Lewis structure for a compound, that lewis structure must consist of only dots. These dots actually show the valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.
We do not involve arrows when writing dot electron structures for compounds. The valence electrons of magnesium ought not to be written together because they are not a lone pair, rather they are two unpaired electrons. The use of an arrow suggests a coordinate covalent bond which is not the case here.
The correct lewis structure for MgCl2 is shown in the image attached to this answer.
Answer:
58mL
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Density of water = 1g/mL
Mass of object = 58g
Unknown:
The volume the object must have to be able to float in water = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we know that the object must have density value equal to that of water or less than that of water to be able to float.
We then set its density to that of water;
Density =
Volume =
So;
Volume =
= 58mL
Octet means presence of a total of 8 electrons in its valence shell while in case of duplet only 2 electrons are present in valence shell.
