Which of the molecules and polyatomic ions cannot be adequately described using a single Lewis structure

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lynna [10]3 years ago

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Which of the molecules and polyatomic ions cannot be adequately described using a single Lewis structure?

O3

OF2

CH2Cl2

NH4+

HCN

CO3^2-

Answer:

O3, CO3^2-

Explanation:

The molecule, ozone (O3) and the carbonate ion ( CO3^2-) are both represented using canonical structures. A single Lewis structure does not sufficiently account for all the observed properties of these substances.

Since one lewis structure is insufficient in explaining their properties, this molecule and polyatomic ion can only be described by a hybrid structure known as a resonance hybrid.

Answer: The gas generated by two antacid tablets has a smaller volume.

Explanation:

Since the antiacid is the limiting reagent, we know that the more tablets there are, the more gas there will be.

This means that there will be more gas generated by the four antiacid tablets when compared to the two antiacid tablets, which gives us that the gas generated by the two antiacid tablets has a smaller volume.
