Answer:
Explanation:
Examples of applied chemistry include creation of the variety of laundry detergents on the market and development of oil refineries.
Answer:
The structures shown by dots and lines to give the exact number of electrons in the outer most shell is explained by Lewis Structures.
Explanation:
Lewis structures are those structures in which the diagram is shown using the electron representation. They are easy to understand as the diagram completely depicts where the electrons are shared and where they are transferred. The diagram also explains where there is a single bond and where there is a di covalent bond or tri covalent bond explaining where the single , double or triple electron pair is shared. The electrons are shown by dots or lines.
For example CCl₄ can be shown as follows
..
.. Cl..
.. ..
..Cl..----------C----------..Cl..
..
.. Cl..
The picture shows that each chlorine has six electrons in its outer shell and then a pair of electron is shared with carbon forming a single covalent bond.
Similarly methane CH4 can also be shown.
The hydrogen has one electron and it shares an electron from carbon stabilising itself forming methane.
Answer:
Potassium cation = K⁺²
Explanation:
The metal cation in K₂SO₄ is K⁺². While the anion is SO₄²⁻.
All the metals have tendency to lose the electrons and form cation. In given compound the metal is potassium so it should form the cation. The overall compound is neutral.
The charge on sulfate is -2. While the oxidation state of potassium is +1. So in order to make compound overall neutral there should be two potassium cation so that potassium becomes +2 and cancel the -2 charge on sulfate and make the charge on compound zero.
2K⁺² , SO₄²⁻
K₂SO₄
Answer:
B
Explanation:
it is bigger then earth so it will have a greater mass.
