<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.

In a certain time, light travels 4.96 km in a vacuum. during the same time, light travels only 3.36 km in a liquid. what is the
Natali5045456 [20]

the refractive index of the liquid is 1.476

The refractive index, which has no dimensions, measures how quickly light passes through a substance.

It can also be described as the difference between the speed of light in a vacuum and a medium.

Refractive index is equal to the product of the light's liquid and vacuum speeds.

Therefore.

speed of light in vacuum = 4.96 km/t

speed of light in liquid = 3.36 km/t

Refractive index = 4.96/3.36

Refractive index =1.476

Therefore, the refractive index of the liquid is 1.476

A balanced chemical reaction obeys the law of...
Anit [1.1K]

Answer: (C) conservation of matter

Solution: Law of conservation of matter or mass states that' total mass of the reactants should always be equal to the total mass of the product that is the total mass is remained conserved in a chemical reaction.

A balanced chemical equation always follow this law.

For example:

2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

Mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol

Mass of Oxygen = 16 g/mol

Total mass on the reactants = 2(2×1)+(2×16)= 36g/mol

Total mass on the product side = 2[(2×1) +16] = 36 g/mol

As,

Mass on reactant side = Mass on the product side

Therefore, a balanced chemical reaction follows Law of Conservation of mass.
