<u>Answer:</u> A molecule of ClO_3^- has 1 single bond, 2 double bonds and 8 lone pairs.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Lewis-dot structure is defined as the structure which represents the number of valence electrons around the atoms. The electrons are represented as dots.

This structure helps in the determination of bonding electrons and non-bonding electrons.

For the given compound ClO_3^-

As we know that chlorine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electron.  The negative charge gets add up in the total number of valence electrons.

Total number of valence electrons in ClO_3^- = 7 + 3(6) + 1 = 26

In ClO_3^-, two electrons of 2 oxygen atoms combine with 2  electrons of chlorine and 1 electron of one oxygen atom combines with 1 electron of chlorine atom.

A lone pair remains on the central atom which is chlorine.

Hence, a molecule of ClO_3^- has 1 single bond, 2 double bonds and 8 lone pairs.

Name the cycloalkanes with molecular formula c6h12 that have a 3-membered ring and two substituents.
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

1-ethyl-2-methyl cyclopropane.

Explanation:

  • The structure of the molecule will be as shown in the attached image.
  • The molecular formula of the compound is C₆H₁₂.
  • It has 3 membered ring with 3 C atoms and two substituents one of them with one C atom (methyl) and the other with 2 C atoms (ethyl).
  • The ring consist of 3 C atoms, so its name is cyclo propane.
  • We numbering the atoms of the ring that give the ethyl substituent the low no. (1) and then methyl group take no. (2).
  • <em>Thus, the name of the compound is 1-ethyl-2-methyl cyclopropane.</em>

Isotopes of carbon differ with the respect to the number of
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Neutrons.

Explanation:

Isotopes can be defined as the atom of an element that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. This ultimately implies that, the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different atomic mass (number of nucleons).

The isotope of an element is denoted by X^{A}_{Z}

Where; X is the symbol of the element.

A is the atomic mass or number of nucleons.

Z is the atomic number or number of protons.

<em>Therefore, the number of neutrons = A - Z</em>

<em>Isotopes of carbon differ with respect to the number of neutrons.</em>

<em>Basically, there are three (3) Isotopes of Carbon and these are;</em>

<em>1. Carbon-12: it has an atomic mass of 12 with 6 numbers of proton and neutron respectively. </em>

<em>2. Carbon-13: it has an atomic mass of 13 with 6 numbers of proton and 7 numbers of neutron. </em>

<em>3. Carbon-14: it has an atomic mass of 14 with 6 numbers of proton and 8 numbers of neutron.  </em>

What is responsible for the formation of a solution?
-BARSIC- [3]
<span>An aqueous solution is produced when a solute dissolves in water. The biggest responsible is the water that is the solvent of substances in smaller proportion as some ions of K +, Na +, Cl -, forming true solutions. Occurs when a solute dissolves in the water solvent, the separation between the substances is atomic, molecular or ionic, depending on the solution.</span>

Which formula represents the compound commonly known as phosphine with iupac name phosphorus trihydride? ph ph2 ph3 ph4
zubka84 [21]

C. PH3 represents a compound commonly known as phosphine, whose IUPAC name is phosphorus trihydride.

<h3>What type of bond is PH3?</h3>

The electronegativity of PH3 found in the Periodic Table of the Period attracts covalent electron pairs and creates covalent bonds. However, because the electrons are not bound, asymmetrical rate distribution occurs. Therefore, PH3 is a polar molecule with a non-polar covalent bond and currently has no polar bond.

<h3 /><h3>What defines a covalent bond?</h3>

A covalent bond consists of sharing one or more electron pairs between two atoms. These electrons are attracted to two nuclei at the same time. Covalent bonds are formed when the difference in electronegativity between two atoms is too small for electron transfer to form ions.
