The following are the steps involved in drawing Lewis structure of the polyatomic trisulfide anion 
:
Total number of valence electrons = 
Resonance is not possible in this ion. The molecular geometry of the ion will be bent as there are two lone pairs and two bond pairs on the central atom.
Answer: 177g
Explanation:
Aw 12 = 6.02214076*10^23 atoms
mass = 12*88.70^23/6.022*10^23
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Just look at the groups and their tendencies. Or look at their electron configurations. You will notice that calcium has 2 valence electrons and bromine has 7 valence electrons.
Halogens have the most valence electrons possible without completing a shell (8 would be needed for that)
Answer:
Mass = 182.4 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of Al₂O₃ = 3.80 mol
Mass of oxygen required = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃
Now we will compare the moles of aluminum oxide and oxygen.
Al₂O₃ : O₂
2 : 3
3.80 : 3/2×3.80 = 5.7
Mass of oxygen:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 5.7 mol × 32 g/mol
Mass = 182.4 g
