Create the Lewis structure of CF4. NOTE: do only the step asked for in each part and then click Check–don't work ahead to solve

the final structure.
Step 1. Count valence electrons in the molecule or ion. Do this by adding the periodic group numbers for each atom in the structure and adjusting for charge. Enter and Check.

To create the Lewis structure we need to take into account the octet rule: atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.

C belongs to Group 4A in the periodic table so it has 4 valence electrons. It needs to share 4 pairs of electrons to complete the octet.

F belongs to Group 7A in the periodic table so it has 7 valence electrons. Each F needs to share 1 pair of electrons to complete the octet.

As a consequence, in CF₄, C will form a single bond with each F and all the octets will be complete.

Answer:

1. not enough dye was added to the drink.

The wrong dye was added to the drink

the water in the drink is evaporating

2. Changing the compound changes the absorbance behavior.

3. Measure the absorbance for the same solution in different cuvette sizes and find the y-intercept.

Explanation:

When the beverage company adds dye to the drink, there should be standard quantity added to the drink so that the color of the drink remains constant. When too much dye is added to the drink, the color will get dark brown or black. When the color of drink get lighter than green this means dye is not added in required quantity.

<span>c. About one month To answer this question, TAKE A LOOK AT THE GRAPH. If you do so, you'll see that the first peak for prey happens at about 2.5 months. The first peak for predators happens at about 3.5 months, or in other words, lags by about a month. Looking at the second peak for prey and predator you see the figures of 8 months and 9 months. Another lag of about 1 month. Looking at the third peak, you see a bit past 13 months and a bit past 14 months. Another one month lag. Therefore the answer is "c. About one month"</span>
