The formula in my book for carbonate is Co32- and I’m confused because carbon has 4 valence electrons and oxygen has 6 . How doe

s it end up being CO32-?? Please help

The total charge of the carbonate ion is -2. O2 in CO32- has a total charge of -6 (3 x -2). Hence, to find the charge of carbon -> x + -6 = -2. Therefore, carbon has a charge of +4.
This matches your theory stated whereby
1. Carbon has 4 valence electrons so in this case, it loses 4 electrons to obtain a stable noble octet config. & hence has a charge of +4.
2. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons so in this case, it gains 2 electrons & hence has a charge of -2.

Mercury is a liquid meteal but it is not hard? how can we say it is a metal
NNADVOKAT [17]
What's the problem ? Hardness is not the definition of a metal. You need to expand your thinking. EVERY element is solid, liquid, and gas, over different ranges of temperature ... including all of the metals. There are only TWO elements that are liquid AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, and mercury is one of them. But on a mild day at the south pole, mercury is solid too.

Q+ is an ion of element Q. What has the highest value in the ion?
Firdavs [7]

The highest value of the ion is the nucleon number. The correct option is a.

<h3>What is nucleon number?</h3>

The mass number of an element is so named because it represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the element.

The total number of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus is known as the mass number, also known as the atomic mass number or nucleon number. It is roughly equivalent to the atomic mass expressed in atomic mass units.

In the given ion Q+, the nucleon number has the highest value in the ion

Thus, the correct option is a.

Identify the substance that conducts electricity. question 19 options: 1) nacl dissolved in water 2) solid nacl 3) solid sugar 4
Delicious77 [7]

The substance that conducts electricity is NaCl dissolved in water.

So, option A is correct one.

When the sodium chloride dissolve in water , the sodium atoms and chlorine atoms separates under the presence of water molecules and exist as sodium cation and chloride anion . Now , they are free to move around in the water as positively and negatively charged ions . This separation of charge allows the solution to conduct electricity.

The solid NaCl and solid sugar does not conduct electricity because it is not dissolve in water . Similarly, sugar dissolved in water does not conduct electricity .
