Chemistry
1 answer:
denpristay [2]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

d. 8

Explanation:

Valence electrons of oxygen = 6

Valence electrons of hydrogen = 1  

The total number of the valence electrons  = 6 + 2(1) = 8

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom and duet for the hydrogen in the molecule is complete.

In the water molecule,

<u>Oxygen has 2 bond pairs and two lone pairs which means that the total electrons in the valence shell is 8.</u>

Of the colors on the visible light spectrum, which one has the longest wavelength, lowest frequency, and lowest energy?
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Red

Explanation:

Violet - shortest wavelength, around 400-420 nanometers with highest frequency. They carry the most energy.

Indigo - 420 - 440 nm

Blue - 440 - 490 nm

Green - 490 - 570 nm

Yellow - 570 - 585 nm

Orange - 585 - 620 nm

Red - longest wavelength, at around 620 - 780 nanometers with lowest frequency and least amount of energy

Therefore, <em>red </em>is the answer you're looking for.

I hope this helps and that you have a great day! :)

What is the degree of oxidation of a simple substance​​
marissa [1.9K]

Answer: The oxidation state of a free element (uncombined element) is zero. For a simple (monoatomic) ion, the oxidation state is equal to the net charge on the ion. For example, Cl– has an oxidation state of -1. When present in most compounds, hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1 and oxygen an oxidation state of −2.

hope this helps........ Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D Explanation:
