Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Lewis dot structures are the structures which represent the valance electrons of an element forming a compound. The electrons are represented as the dots.

In a compound, the bonded electrons are represented as a bond and lone pair of electrons are represented as dots.

In $NH_2^-$ compound,

Electronic configuration of Nitrogen: $1s^22s^2p^3$

Valence electrons in nitrogen = 5

Electronic configuration of hydrogen: $1s^1$

Valence electrons in hydrogen = 1

In the given compound, bond pairs are 2 which means number of electrons bonded are 4.

Unbonded electrons left on nitrogen will be 3 and this compound has an extra electron because of the negative charge present on the compound. Hence, total unbonded electrons present on this compound will be 4.

Therefore, the lewis dot structure will be Option D.

D. The total number of valence electrons is 8 and D represents that. D also correctly uses the octet rule for N and duet rule for H.

When you dissolve solid sugar into water, this new solution will taste sweet. the sugar went through a chemical change?

dybincka [34]

Basically the sugar breaks down until it’s eventually evaporated and spreads to different parts of the water solution and while it’s spreading the chemicals and the flavors in the sugar are going into the molecules and atoms in the water and mixing to make the water solution taste sweet just like sugar. So i would say it would be a physical change not a chemical change.

If 3.0 liters of 0.50 m nacl (aq) is mixed with 9.0 liters of 0.2777 m nacl (aq), what is the final concentration of the resulti

Svetradugi [14.3K]

First, we shall calculate the total number of moles present in the final solution.
Number of moles in 0.50 m NaCl = molarity * volume = 0.50 * 3.0 = 1.5 moles.
Number of moles in 0.2777m NaCl = molarity * volume = 0.2777 * 9.0 = 0.24993 moles
Total number of moles = 1.5 + 0.24993 = 1.74993 moles

Second, we shall calculate the total volume of the final solution.
Total volume = 3 + 9 = 12 litres.

The molarity = total number of moles / total volume = 1.74993 / 12 = 0.1458 m

A beaker contains 2.06 mol of copper, and beaker b contains 222 grams of silver. which beaker contains the larger mass? which be

svet-max [94.6K]

Part (a): The masses
From the periodic table:
molar mass of copper = 63.5 grams
This means that:
mass of 2..06 moles = 2.06 * 63.5 = 130.81 grams
comparing this mass with the 222 grams of silver, we will find that the mass of silver is greater.

Part (b): The atoms:
number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles of silver = 222 / 107.8 = 2.059 moles
each mole contains Avogadro's number of atoms.
Since number of moles of copper is slightly larger than nuber of moles of silver, this means that the number of atoms in the copper sample would be more.
