Clo3− draw the molecule by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds. Include all lone pairs of electrons. Show t

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The formal charges of all nonhydrogen atoms are -1.

Solution:-

<u>O 7-4 = 3 O Double bond on one H 5-4 = 1</u>

O-Cl-O 6-7 = -1x4 = -4 N 5-4=1 H-N-H 1-1=0

O 3-4= -1 O O 6-7 = -1(2)=-2 H 1-0=+1

<u>6-6 = 0 1-2 = -1</u>

It will percentage its last valence electron thru a single bond to the terminal oxygen atom. This is in agreement with carbon and hydrogen atoms that each need to form 4 and 1 covalent bonds respectively. because the terminal oxygen atom best has a single covalent bond, it'll have a proper rate of -1.

According to the lewis structure of SO2, The critical atom is sulfur and it is bonded with 2 oxygen atoms thru a double bond. each oxygen atom acquires 2 lone pairs of electrons and the primary sulfur atom has 1 lone pair of electrons.

When cream mixes with coffee, is this a chemical or physical change?

svlad2 [7]

It is a physical change when cream mixes with coffee, it changes the color of the coffee. When you add more or less cream there is a color change depending on the consistency of cream. The properties are not changes and a no new compound is formed as in chemical change with a reaction of two compounds, a new compound is formed with different properties. So it is a physical change.

What do Potassium and Krypton have in common and what are their differences based on their location on the periodic table?

Kamila [148]

Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same period, so they have the same number of electron shells. Potassium is more reactive than Krypton because it only has one valence electron.

K and Kr are both in Period 4, so they each have the n = 1, 2, 3, and 4 shells. Kr is less reactive than K because it already has a complete octet.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same period, so they have the same number of electron shells. Krypton is more reactive than Potassium because it has a full outer shell” is <em>incorrect </em>because having a full outer shell means that the element is unreactive.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same group, so they have the same number of valence electrons. They have different numbers of electron shells” is <em>incorrect </em>for three reasons:

1. K is in Group 1 and Kr is in Group 18.

2. K has one valence electron, and Kr has eight valence electrons.

3. They have the same number of electron shells.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same group, so they have the same number of valence electrons. They have different numbers of electron shells” is <em>incorrect</em> for two reasons:

1. K and Kr have different numbers of valence electrons.

2. They have the same number of electron shells.
