When two carbon atoms are covalently bonded together, they try to achieve an octet structure so their electrons are 4 in number while each of them donates their remaining 2 so they end up sharing 4.

A stable atom would need 8 valence electrons, so since its sharing, lets subtract. 

8 - 6 = 2

It needs only 2 valence electrons. 

Answer: 2

if the particles formed through fission have less mass than the starting material has the laaw of conversation of energy been br
Alexxandr [17]

The law of conservation of energy has not been broken, provided energy is released from the fission process.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

The law states that the total energy of a process is conserved. That is, the total energy or mass of a system before and after undergoing processing remains the same. However, some of the mass/energy can be converted to another form.

When a material undergoes fission, the sum total of the mass of the particles formed should be equal to the mass of the starting materials, provided that all other things remain the same.

However, if energy is released from the fission process, it means that some of the mass of the starting materials has been converted to energy and released to the environment.

If the mass of a material is 78 grams and the volume of the material is 23 cm3, what would the density of the material be?
Paraphin [41]

Density = mass / volume

Density = (78g) / (23cm^3)

Density = 3.4g/cm^3

What is the net ionic equation of the reaction of MgSO4 with Pb(NO3)2?
NemiM [27]

Hey there!:

Write the molecular equation for the reaction of MgSO4 with Pb(NO3)2 :

MgSO4(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) ---> Mg(NO3)2(aq) + PbSO4(s)

Write the total ionic equation  for the reaction :

Mg²⁺ (aq) + SO₄⁻² (aq) + Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2 NO₃⁻¹ (aq) + PbSO₄(s)

Therefore:

Cancel the spectator ions on both sides:

Pb²⁺ (aq) + SO₄⁻² (aq) ---> PbSO4(s)


Hope that helps!
