Answer:
Choice 'B'
Explanation:
Choice B => SCl₂ => 2 bonded pairs + 2 nonbonded pairs => 4 electron pairs => AX₄ parent => tetrahedral parent, but the shape is defined only by what's bonded to the central element that is, sulfur bonded to two Cl substrates. The electron pairs will assume positions in space (to minimize repulsion forces) like a regular tetrahedron (AX₄) but will have an AX₂E₂ geometry which is a Bent Geometry.
Suggest searching molecular geometry images online. Look for derivatives of AX₄ geometries. Example: H₂O (AX₂E₂ bent geometry; also a derivative of AX₄ tetrahedral parent geometry).
Hello!
The balanced chemical equation for the oxidation of diamonds is the following one:
C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g)
As simple as that! You see, Diamonds are an allotropic form of pure carbon. Allotropic forms are different arrangements of atoms. In graphite, the C atoms are arranged in layers like paper sheets, and in diamond, the C atoms are arranged in a tetrahedral structure, which gives them their hardness and their thermal and electrical properties. Burning diamonds would be the same as burning elemental carbon and the chemical equation is the one shown before.
Have a nice day!
<span>Recrystallization
is another method of purification of solids in which an impure solid is
crystallize repeatedly to obtain amore pure solid and a larger one. Ethanol is
better suited as solvent in recrystallization of benzene than acetone because
it becomes soluble with benzene at a higher temperature. Ethanol is non polar
and may react well with benzyl but acetone are is non polar. A difference in
their polarity, especially in heating both benzyl and the solvent can lead to
more impurities that cannot be removed.</span>

Answer:
a. x = + 2
b. x = + 3
c. x = + 2
d. x = + 3
Explanation:
The oxidation number is a formal charge assigned to an atom present in a molecule or formula unit or ion based on some arbitrary rules.
a.
<u>Hg</u>O
The oxidation number of Hg in HgO is:
x + (-2) = 0
x = +2
b.
<u>Al₄</u>C₃
The oxidation number of Al in Al<u>₄</u>C₃ is:
4x +(3 × -4) = 0
4x - 12 = 0
4x = +12
x = 12/4
x = +3
c. CrF₂
x + ( 2 × - 1) = 0
x - 2 = 0
x = + 2
d. Fe₂S₃
2x + ( 3 × - 2) = 0
2x + (-6) = 0
2x = 6
x = 6/2
x = +3
