How many electrons are there in the valence shell of the oxygen atom of water? O a. 2 O 6.4 OC.6 O d. 8

Chemistry
1 answer:
denpristay [2]2 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>

What type of wave do the contractions of the snake muscles make as the snake moves forward
S_A_V [24]
Actually, there are four kinds of reptile motion: 

Concertina - vermiform. Circular muscles around the snake squeeze the front of the snake's body out long, then the latter half is pulled forward. 

Rectilinear crawling - Belly scutes are moved forward individually in a wave-like motion. 

Side-winding - Snake's version of "walking". Use by several species to move over fluidic substrates, such as sand. 

Lateral undulation - Most common form of movement. Snake presses on alternating pressure points to force body forward (or backward)

1. If I have 45 L of He in a balloon at 25 degrees celsius and increase the temperature of the
Greeley [361]

Use Charles' Law: V1/T1 = V2/T2. We assume the pressure and mass of the helium is constant. The units for temperature must be in Kelvin to use this equation (x °C = x + 273.15 K).

We want to solve for the new volume after the temperature is increased from 25 °C (298.15 K) to 55 °C (328.15 K). Since the volume and temperature of a gas at a constant pressure are directly proportional to each other, we should expect the new volume of the balloon to be greater than the initial 45 L.

Rearranging Charles' Law to solve for V2, we get V2 = V1T2/T1.  

(45 L)(328.15 K)/(298.15 K) = 49.5 ≈ 50 L (if we're considering sig figs).

Which of these safety features aims to keep nuclear radiation contained
rewona [7]

The safety feature aimed at keeping nuclear radiation contained is steel-reinforced concrete.

<h3>What is nuclear power plant?</h3>

A nuclear power plant is a building with reactors that contain controlled nuclear reactions to produce energy.

Nuclear power plants are able to generate warm water by using atomic properties of matter  (i.e.,m the process of nuclear fission), which is in turn converted into steam to move turbines.

The walls of nuclear power reactors are composed of steel-reinforced concrete in order to avoid radiation release.

In conclusion, the safety standard property that maintains nuclear radiation contained is steel-reinforced concrete.
