In Lewis Structures, δ (delta) is used in conjunction with _______.
1 answer:
Answer:
B. Electrical charges of polar covalent bonds
Explanation:
Lewis structures, also known as Lewis dot diagrams are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and lone pairs of an electron that may exist in the molecule.
Polar covalent bonds are bonds that occur where a pair of electrons is shared unevenly between two atoms
The Lewis notation as an agreed convection, uses the delta sign to indicate polar covalent bonds when they occur in compounds. It shows that the electrons are shared unevenly.
Consider the example attached below. The Lewis structure for HF is given. the δ+ is used to show the electropositive Hydrogen atom while the δ- is used to show the electronegative Fluorine atom in the bond.

Answer:
Na₂CO₃.2H₂O
Explanation:
For the hydrated compound, let us denote is by Na₂CO₃.xH₂O
The unknown is the value of x which is the amount of water of crystallisation.
Given values:
Starting mass of hydrate i.e Na₂CO₃.xH₂O = 4.31g
Mass after heating (Na₂CO₃) = 3.22g
Mass of the water of crystallisation = (4.31-3.22)g = 1.09g
To determine the integer x, we find the number of moles of the anhydrous Na₂CO₃ and that of the water of crystallisation:
Number of moles =
Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ =[(23x2) + 12 + (16x3)] = 106gmol⁻¹
Molar mass of H₂O = [(1x2) + (16)] = 18gmol⁻¹
Number of moles of Na₂CO₃ = = 0.03mole
Number of moles of H₂O = = 0.06mole
From the obtained number of moles:
Na₂CO₃ H₂O
0.03 0.06
Simplest
Ratio 0.03/0.03 0.03/0.06
1 2
Therefore, x = 2
