It is incorrect because it should have a total of eight electrons with two electrons between each H and O

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Lewis structure shows the form of bonds that occur in the valence electrons of an element or compound

This bonding usually occurs in covalent bonds

Valence electrons are electrons used in a chemical bond

The main group elements usually have valence electron configurations in the ns and np subshells, While the transition elements in the subshells (n-1) d and ns.

Element O has 6 valence electrons

Element H has 1 valence electron

To achieve stability, the element O needs 2 more electrons which are obtained from 2 electrons from the H element, while the H element needs 1 electron to be stable

So that a covalent bond is formed

Its minerals will have crystals.

Mice21 [21]

A crystal is any solid that has an organized structure. ... So it is a prerequisite to be a crystal in order to be a mineral. All minerals, therefore, form crystals. On the other hand, there are crystals that are not minerals, because they are not naturally occuring, or because they are not inorganic

An interpenetrating primitive cubic structure like that of CsCl with anions in the corners has an edge length of 664 pm. If the

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

the ionic radius of the anion $r^- = 312.52 \ pm$

Explanation:

From the diagram shown below :

The anion $Cl^-$ is located at the corners

The cation $Cs^+$ is located at the body center

The Body diagonal length = $\sqrt{3 \ a }$

∴ $2 \ r^+ \ + 2r^- \ = \sqrt{3 \ a} \\ \\ r^+ +r^- = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} a$

Given that :

$\frac{r^+}{r^-} =0.84$ (i.e the ratio of the ionic radius of the cation to the ionic radius of

the anion )

$0.84r^- \ + r^- \ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a \\ \\ 1.84 r^- = \frac{3}{2}a \\ \\ r^- = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2*1.84}a$

Also ; a = 664 pm

Then :

$r^- = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2*1.84}*664 \ pm\\ \\ r^- = 312.52 \ pm$

Therefore, the ionic radius of the anion $r^- = 312.52 \ pm$

Someone please help me!!!!!!!

Answer:

Hydrogen Chloride Gas is heavier than air and sinks to the ground after being released. Firefighters closer to the ground will be subjected to significantly greater concentrations of hydrogen chloride gas than the firefighters walking on top of railcars.

Explanation:

The molar mass of air is 28.97 g/mol. Air is approximately 78% N2, which has a molar mass of 28.014 g/mol and 21% oxygen, which has a molar mass of 32 g/mol; the remaining constituents of air include CO2 and other trace amounts of gases.

The molar mass of HCl is 36.458 g/mol.

Because HCl is heavier than air, it sinks toward the ground, displacing the lighter air.

The height of railway cars is reported to vary between 13.5 ft to 15.5 ft. So firefighters on tank cars are generally above the HCl gas (although localized atmospheric conditions could cause the HCl to move higher up in the air column).

Help me. ASAP!!!!! 23 POINTS!!!!!!!

Alona [7]

a) Group 2 elements have 2 electrons on their outer shell, so they form a 2+ charge.

b) they lose 2 electrons as they are transferred to the non metal.

c)They obtain this charge as when they are made into an ionic compound the 2 electrons on the outer shell are transferred to the non metal, meaning there are 2 more protons that electrons, giving it a positive charge.

hope this helps! :)
