Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a covalent compound because it is composed of carbon and oxygen. Herein both the elements i.e. C and O are non-metals.


These elements share the electrons. When electrons are shared, each atom will contain 8 electrons in the outer shell. Due to this, all the atoms of the CO2 will become stable and they will have a completed outer shell.


The lewis structure of CO2 is shown below:

What is the VSEPR notation for the molecule
Ilya [14]
VSEPR notation gives a general formula for classifying chemical species based on the number of electron pairs around a central atom. However, not all species have the same molecules.

For example, carbon dioxide and surfer dioxide are both species, but one is linear and another one is bent.

The half-life of barium-131 is 12.0 days. How many grams of
dimulka [17.4K]

Let's see

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow A=A_o(0.5)^{\frac{t}{H}}

  • H is half-life

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow A=10(0.5)^{\frac{60}{12}}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow A=10(0.5)^5

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow A=10(0.03125)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow A=0.3125g

How do the hazards from a quiet eruption differ from those of an explosive eruption?
vova2212 [387]
<span>Hazards from huge explosive eruptions comprise extensive ash-falls with small glass particles in it, pyroclastic flows (combinations of hot gases and pumice chunks), and immense lahars which are volcanic mud flows which can even include debris. These put people within the area in danger. Nearby properties get damaged as well within a circumference of tens to hundreds of miles away from the volcano. These eruptions can extensively cause a change to the global climate too. Hazards from quiet eruptions include lava flows which contain exploding fires and creating gas clouds which are rich in chlorine where lava pours into the sea. This can cause damage to wildlife and sea creatures.</span>
