Answer:

Zero Lone Pairs

Explanation:

Hydrogen Sulfate is made from Sulfuric acid. It is an ion and contains a negative charge on one of its oxygen atoms. The central atom of this ion is sulfur atom.

The lewis structure of hydrogen sulfate is attached below. It can be seen from the structure that the sulfur is carrying no lone pair of electrons as that carried by oxygen atoms. The sulfur atom is making four single or multiple bonds with oxygen atoms. Also, the electron and molecular geometry around sulfur is Tetrahedral.

According to the octet rule, which of elements will have a tendency to loss 2 electrons?

Aneli [31]

The correct option is STRONTIUM.
Strontium is a group 2 element, that means it has two electrons in its outermost shell. This element will prefer to lose these two electrons in its outermost shell in order to attain the octet form, therefore, it will form electrovalent bond with non metals which it can donate two electrons to.

A cylinder is labeled \"PENTANE.\" When the gas inside the cylinder is monochlorinated, five isomers of formula C5H11Cl result.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

a mixture of two these

Explanation:

The number of isomeric monochlorides depends on the structure and number of equivalent hydrogen atoms in each isomer of pentane.

n-pentane has three different kinds of equivalent hydrogen atoms leading to three isomeric monochlorides formed.

Isopentane has four different types of equivalent hydrogen atoms hence four isomeric monochlorides are formed.

Lastly, neopentane has only one type of equivalent hydrogen atoms that yields one mono chlorination product.

Hence the cylinder must contain a mixture of isopentane and neopentane which yields four and one isomeric monochlorides giving a total of five identifiable monochloride products as stated in the question.
