Answer:

The structures shown by dots and lines to give the exact number of electrons in the outer most shell is explained by Lewis Structures.

Explanation:

Lewis structures are those structures in which the diagram is shown using the electron representation. They are easy to understand as the diagram completely depicts where the electrons are shared and where they are transferred. The diagram also explains where there is a single bond and where there is a di covalent bond or tri covalent bond explaining where the single , double or triple electron pair is shared. The electrons are shown by dots or lines.

For example CCl₄ can be shown as follows

                  ..

               .. Cl..

  ..                               ..

..Cl..----------C----------..Cl..

                   ..

                .. Cl..

The picture shows that each chlorine has six electrons in its outer shell and then a pair of electron is shared with carbon forming a single covalent bond.

Similarly methane CH4 can also be shown.

The hydrogen has one electron and it shares an electron from carbon stabilising itself forming methane.

What is the difference between ionic and covalent compounds?
k0ka [10]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. All the above

  • Covalent compounds are always poor conductors of electricity while ionic compounds conduct electricity well when melted or dissolved.
  • Covalent compounds can be solid, liquid or gas, but ionic compounds are solids.
  • In covalent compounds the elements present are usually close together on the periodic table whereas in ionic compounds they are usually well separated.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u>Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed from strong electrostatic interactions between ions.</u> Ionic bonding occurs between a nonmetal, which acts as an electron acceptor, and a metal, which acts as an electron donor. The atoms involved in ionic bonding lose or gain electrons and form positively or negatively charged ions.
  • <em><u>Ionic compound are good conductors of electricity both in molten and aqueous form,. while covalent compound are poor conductors of electricity.</u></em>
  • <u>Covalent compounds on the other hand are compounds that have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms.</u> These types bonds mostly occur between nonmetals or between two atoms of the same element.

A sample of Hydrogen gas has a volume of 25.5 liters at a pressure of 15.0 kPa. If the temperature is kept constant and the pres
patriot [66]

Answer:

<h2>7.65 litres </h2>

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we're finding the new volume

V_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}  \\

15 kPa = 15,000 Pa

50 kPa = 50,000 Pa

We have

V_2 =  \frac{15000 \times 25.5}{50000}  =  \frac{382500}{50000}  \\  = 7.65

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.65 litres </h3>

Hope this helps you

If you are given only the mass number of neutrons, how do we find an atomic number?
77julia77 [94]

Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons.

Atomic number is the total number of protons present.

Mass number = protons + neutrons

Atomic number = protons present.

From the above equations we can conclude that,

Atomic number= Mass number- neutrons.

Thus we can find out the atomic number by subtracting the number of neutrons from the mass number.

Acetylene, C2H2, can be converted to ethane, C2H6, by a process known as hydrogenation. The reaction is C2H2(g)+2H2(g)?C2H6(g)
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Keq =1.50108

Explanation:

The given reactionis

 C₂H₂(g) +2H₂(g) -------------> C₂H₂(g)

   ΔG0 f=ΔG0f n (products) - ΔG0f n (reactants )

              = -32.89 kJ/mol - (209.2 kJ/mol+2*0.0 kJ/mol)

              = - 242.09kJ/mol

   ΔG= -RTlnKeq

   ln Keq = -ΔG/RT

           =-(- 242.09kJ/mol ) / 2 k cal /mol*298 K

           =0.406

    Keq =e0.406

         Keq =1.50108
