Answer:
Carbon has 4 valence electrons (electrons that are used in bonding), and therefore it can make 4 bonds which is the most one can (other than some exceptions, but in general it is the most). It wants to make 4 bonds so it can reach a full octet of 8 elections, hence the rule of 8.
Explanation:
The middle nitrogen has two sigma bonds and one pi bond. You know that one p orbital is used in the double bond and two sp2 orbitals are involved in the sigma bond. This leaves one sp2 orbital for the lone pair to occupy.
Answer:
63.53% yield
Explanation:
The balanced equation for this reaction is 2NaCl + H2O -> 2NaOH +Cl2
First we must find the limiting reactant
From NaCl we can only produce 6.06 grams of Cl2 in <u>theory</u>
From H20 we can only produce 38.995 grams in theory
so we know NaCl is the limiting
% yield is (Actual/Theoretical) x100 so
(3.85/6.06)x100= 63.53% yield
They discovered this since S waves don’t travel through the earth but P waves do. P waves tend to travel faster than S waves in speed, 1&14km/s vs 1&8km/s
