Below are the choices that can be found elsewhre:

A. one 
<span>B. two </span>
<span>C. three </span>
<span>D. four </span>
<span>E. none

The answer is D which is four </span><span> Ca has given up 2 electrons to sulfur with six which makes 8 e-, or 4 pairs.

Answer:

2

Explanation:

Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

There are 2 valence electrons of Calcium.

Sulfur is the element of sixteenth group and third period. The electronic configuration of sulfur is - 2, 8, 6 or 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

There are 6 valence electrons of sulfur.

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom is complete.  

Thus, calcium loses two electrons to sulfur and sulfur accepts these electrons to form ionic bond.

Calcium sulfide, CaS is formed when 2 valence electrons of calcium are loosed and they are gained by sulfur atom.

Thus, the valence electrons are shown by dots in Lewis structure. The structure is shown in image below.

<u>From the structure, the lone pairs on the structure are: -2</u>

Use the activity series below to predict the products of each of the following reactions. Do not worry about
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

i) CCl₄ and Br₂ does not react

ii) CBr₄ + Cl₂ → CCl₄ + Br₂

Explanation:

i) CCl₄ + Br₂ (no reaction)

From the given activity series, we have that chlorine gas, Cl₂, is more reactive than bromine gas, Br₂, therefore, a reaction of CCl₄ + Br₂ will not have a reaction as the propensity for the chlorine to stay combined with the carbon is higher than the ability for bromine to remain combined with or attract the carbon. Therefore, for CCl₄ + Br₂ there is no reaction

ii) CBr₄ + Cl₂

From the given activity series, we have that chlorine gas, Cl₂, is more reactive than bromine gas, Br₂, therefore, a reaction of CBr₄ + Cl₂ will give products that will have the Br in the CBr₄ replaced by the Cl₂ as follows;

CBr₄ + Cl₂ → CCl₄ + Br₂

The products of the reaction of CBr₄ and Cl₂ are therefore CBr₄ and Cl₂.

Two compounds are standing at the same temperature. Compound "A" is evaporating more slowly than compound "B." According to the
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Option D) Compound B may have a lower molecular weight.

Explanation:

Compound A and B are standing at the same temperature yet compound A is evaporating more slowly than compound B.

This simply indicates that compound B have a lower molecular weight than compound A.

This can further be seen when gasoline and kerosene are placed under same temperature. The gasoline will evaporate faster than kerosene because the molecular weight of the gasoline is low when compared to that of the kerosene.
