The answer is 2 pairs. The carbon atom has 4 electrons and oxygen atom has 6 electrons. The purpose of shared electron is to get 8 electrons at the outer layer. So the carbon atom needs to share 4 electrons which is 2 pairs with oxygen to be stable.

A balloon is filled with 12 L of air at a pressure of 2 atm. What is the volume of the balloon if the pressure is changed to 3 a
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

8L

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure, provided temperature remains constant

P1V1= P2V2

P1 =  2atm, V1 = 12L ,

P2 = 3atm , V2 =

12 × 2 = V2 × 3

Divide both sides by 3

V2 = 24 ÷ 3

V2 = 8L

If the spheres represent a potassium atom and a potassium ion, which best represents the ion?
saul85 [17]
If the potassium ions were represented by spheres, the smaller one is the ion and the bigger one is the (neutral) atom.

Generally, metallic atoms (such as potassium) readily form cations (positively-charged ions) by losing electrons in their outer shells. By losing these electrons, the atoms are expected to be smaller in size. However for nonmetals, they readily gain electrons to form anions (negatively-charged ions). By gaining these electrons in their outer orbital shells, the ions generally then becomes larger.
