6 0

Explanation: Lewis dot structures are the structures which represent the valence electrons of an atom. The dots in the structure are considered as the valence electrons.

First 18 elements of the periodic table are Hydrogen(H), Helium (He), Lithium (Li), Beryllium (Be), Boron (B), Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), Fluorine (F), Neon(Ne), Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), Aluminium (Al), Silicon (Si), Phosphorous (P), Sulfur (S), Chlorine (Cl) and Argon(Ar).

The valence electrons are the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. The electronic configuration of the elements are:

Hydrogen (H) = 1s^1 ; Valence electrons = 1

Helium (He) = 1s^2 ; Valence electrons = 2

Lithium (Li) = 1s^22s^1 ; Valence electrons = 1

Beryllium (Be) = 1s^22s^2 ; Valence electrons = 2

Boron (B) = 1s^22s^22p^1 ; Valence electrons = 3

Carbon (C) = 1s^22s^22p^2 ; Valence electrons = 4

Nitrogen (N) = 1s^22s^22p^3 ; Valence electrons = 5

Oxygen (O) = 1s^22s^22p^4 ; Valence electrons = 6

Fluorine (F) = 1s^22s^22p^5 ; Valence electrons = 7

Neon (Ne) = 1s^22s^22p^6 ; Valence electrons = 8

Sodium (Na) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^1 ; Valence electrons = 1

Magnesium (Mg) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^2 ; Valence electrons = 2

Aluminium (Al) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^1 ; Valence electrons = 3

Silicon (Si) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^2 ; Valence electrons = 4

Phosphorous (P) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3 ; Valence electrons = 5

Sulfur (S) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4 ; Valence electrons = 6

Chlorine(Cl) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5 ; Valence electrons = 7

Argon (Ar) = 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6 ; Valence electrons = 8

  • Elements hydrogen and helium belong to period 1 of the period table, so the lewis dot structures will have maximum of 2 electrons
  • Elements from lithium to neon belong to period 2 and the lewis dot structures will have maximum of 8 electrons.
  • Elements from sodium and argon belong to the period 3 of the periodic table, and will have maximum of 8 electrons in their lewis dot structures.

Lewis dot structures are attached below.

How many types of hybridization does carbon undergo?​
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

For carbon the most important forms of hybridization are the sp2- and sp3- hybridization. Besides these structures there are more possiblities to mix dif- ferent molecular orbitals to a hybrid orbital. An important one is the sp- hybridization, where one s- and one p-orbital are mixed together.

Increased irrigation demands: decrease the rate of transpiration increase the rate of surface water evaporation change the amoun
drek231 [11]

Answer: Increase the rate of surface water evaporation

Irrigation is a process, in which the crops are supplied with water, to ensure their proper growth. Increased in the irrigation supply can be because of the environmental conditions like hot summer season or may be because of the type of soil is semi arid or arid means the soil does not retains moisture efficiently. This will result in increase in the rate of evaporation of the surface water.
