Answer:

Three

Explanation:

Each C atom supplies four valence electrons and each O atom supplies six, for a total of 14 valence electrons.

If there are two double bonds (eight bonding electrons), there must be six nonbonding electrons (i.e., three lone pairs).

The Lewis structure of C₂O is :C=C=Ö:

Which statement describes the charge and location of an electron in an atom?
NemiM [27]

Answer is: It has a negative charge and is located in orbitals around the nucleus.

The electron (symbol: e⁻) is a subatomic particle whose electric charge is negative one elementary charge.

Electrons are moving in energy levels around nucleus.

The electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton.

Electrons have properties of both particles and waves.

1. Write the chemical equation when excess chloride ion is added to aqueous solution of cobalt chloride. Note observed color of
Aneli [31]

The element cobalt can form compounds in two different oxidation states, +2 and +3. 


The +2 state is more common.

The ion Co2+ (aq) is pink.

Other compounds of cobalt(II), which include both anhydrous Co2+ and complex ions, are commonly blue.

If an aqueous solution contains both cobalt(II) and chloride ions, the blue ion CoCl42- forms, in equilibrium with the pink Co2+ (aq) ion.

<span>CoCl42- (aq) <===========> Co2+ (aq) + 4Cl1-(aq)</span>
