Create the Lewis structure of CF4. NOTE: do only the step asked for in each part and then click Check–don't work ahead to solve
Naya [18.7K]

To create the Lewis structure we need to take into account the octet rule: atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.

C belongs to Group 4A in the periodic table so it has 4 valence electrons. It needs to share 4 pairs of electrons to complete the octet.

F belongs to Group 7A in the periodic table so it has 7 valence electrons. Each F needs to share 1 pair of electrons to complete the octet.

As a consequence, in CF₄, C will form a single bond with each F and all the octets will be complete.

What component of amino acid structure varies among different amino acids?
givi [52]

Answer

The components of the r group of amino acid structure varies among different amino acids

Explanation  

As the functional group for amino acids is as:  

R-CH-COOH  

 I  

NH2  

only R differs so amino acids also differs. If R is “H” then amino acid is glycine and if R is “CH3” then amino acid is alanine. Hence, R is different for different amino acids. Other components as alpha carbon ( C ), carboxyl group ( COOH ) and amino group ( NH2 ) is fixed for every amino acid.

The atomic mass of Aluminum is 26.98154 g/mol. Is it possible to have 5.0*10-25g of Al
suter [353]
I believe the correct answer is no, it is impossible to have 5.0*10^-25g of Al. One atom of Al weighs <span>4.48*10^-23 g/atom Al which means</span> it is impossible to have any weight of Al less than that. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
