Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We have to remember that the formula of <u>sulfur dioxide</u> is SO_2. So, the "S" atom is the central one and the "O" atoms are in the left and right of S. Additionally, "S" and "O" atom has <u>6 valence electrons each</u>. With this in mind, we can start with a structure in which the left oxygen has 2 lone pairs and a double bond, the S atom can have a double bond a single bond and a lone pair and the right oxygen with 3 lone pairs with a single bond <u>(structure A)</u>. Now, if we move the negative charge in the right  (resonance) to the middle and the double bond to the left oxygen we will obtain <u>structure B</u>. Finally, we can move the negative charge in the left to the middle and we will obtain structure C. (See figure 1).

Lawrencium-262 has a half-life of 4 hr. How much of a 40 mg sample remains after 12 hours?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

5 mg

Explanation:

If one half life is 4 hours, then 3 half lives is 12 hours.

This means that the sample will decay to 1/8 of its original amount.

So, the answer is 40(1/8) = 5 mg.

What is the scientific notation of 36000x10 ex.10?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

3.6 times 10^4

Explanation:

Scientific notation is between 1-9. So, we move 36000 to 4 decimal places. SO it would be 3.6 times 10^4. Scientific Notation always has the base of 10 . Enjoy :)
