Answer:
The dots were not properly located and arrows are not used in Lewis structures
Explanation:
If we intend to write a Lewis structure for a compound, that lewis structure must consist of only dots. These dots actually show the valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.
We do not involve arrows when writing dot electron structures for compounds. The valence electrons of magnesium ought not to be written together because they are not a lone pair, rather they are two unpaired electrons. The use of an arrow suggests a coordinate covalent bond which is not the case here.
The correct lewis structure for MgCl2 is shown in the image attached to this answer.
Answer:
1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative
2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
Explanation:
The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.
The two most important scales are:
- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).
- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.
The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:
Therefore in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:
1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative
2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
