You live 6 kilometers from your school. How many meters do you live from school?
2 answers:
Answer: 6,000 m . (or, write as: 6,000 meters).
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________
Note the exact conversion: 1 km = 1000 m .
______________________________________________________
Note: "km" is an abbreviated form of "kilometer(s)".
"m" is an abbreviated form of "meter(s)".
______________________________________________________
Here is one way to solve, using a method called "dimensional analysis":
_______________________________________________________
Given: 6 km ; convert to "m" ;
______________________________________________________
→ 6 km = <span> ? </span> m ;
___________________________________________________
→ 6 km *
= ? m ;
___________________________________________________
→ On the "left-hand side" of the equation, the units of "km" "cancel out" to "1" ; and we are left with:
_______________________________________________
→ 6 *
= ? m ;
_______________________________________________
.→ 6 * 1000 m = <span> <span> ?</span></span> m ;
_______________________________________________
→ = 6,000 m ; or write as: 6,000 meters .

In Lewis dot structures, you draw the atom in the center and then surround the atom with its valence electrons. The Lewis structure for O is as shown in the attached diagram.
<h3>What is the Lewis structure of O ?</h3>Lewis Structure of an atom of oxygen contains 6 electrons in the valence shell. Four valence electrons exist in lone pairs. It implies that oxygen atom must participate in two single bonds or one double bond in order to have an octet configuration.
A simplified representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule is called Lewis Structure. It shows how electrons are arranged around individual atoms in the molecule.
