Explanation:

The Lewis dot diagram shows how electrons participate in a bond with Carbon and Chlorine. This is shown by the sticks and the 2 paired electrons near the carbon atom which represent the bonds. These electrons form these bonds because they form octets when they are bonded which most molecules and compounds follow

Answer: Chlorine and Carbon exhibits covalent bonding which involves the sharing if electrons. Carbon is less electronegative than Chlorine so it is considered as the central atom on this compound. Carbon shares it 4 valence electrons on Cl to attain octet. Now Chlorine is more electronegative so it will receive the lone pairs based from the Lewis structure.

Since C os in group 4 and Cl in group 7 the number of electrons will be:

C = 4

Cl= 7 x 4

# of e- = 32 - 8 ( the number of bonds)

Total number of e-. = 26 e-

Distribute the electrons to the most electronegative atom which is Cl have 6 e- each to attain octet.

A particular solution of NaOH has hydronium concentration of 4x10-9 M. what is the solution’s pH?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The pH of the solution is 8, 40-

Explanation:

The pH indicates the acidity or basicity of a substance. PH values between 0 and less than 7 indicate acidic solutions, 7 neutral and greater than 7 to 14 basic. It is calculated as

pH = -log (H30+)

pH= -log (4x10-9M)

<em>pH=8,40</em>

Why do you think it is advantageous to use inert electrodes in the electrolysis process? ​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The advantage of this technique is that purified water as well as deposited metals can be re-used. It is necessary to use an inert electrode, such as platinum, because there is no metal present to conduct the electrons from the anode to the cathode.
