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.

Why do northern lights appear in different colors? Because charged particles of solar wind ignite different gases in Earth's atm
Fofino [41]

Answer:

It is A. Because charged particles of solar wind ignite different gases in Earth's atmosphere.

Explanation:

Since the solar wind from the sun is too radioactive for humans (they would die), once the charged particles hit the earth's atmosphere it shows its color. Every element has its own color and once it hits the atmosphere it really starts to show.

When N2(g) reacts with H2(g) to form NH3(g), 92.2 kJ of energy are evolved for each mole of N2(g) that reacts. Write a balanced
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃   ΔH = - 92.2KJ

Explanation:

Let's write out the chemical equation between Nitrogen and Hydrogen to Form Ammonia.

Nitrogen + Hydrogen = Ammonia

N₂ + H₂ → NH₃

A Thermochemical Equation is a balanced stoichiometric chemical equation that includes the enthalpy change, ΔH.

The balanced stoichiometric chemical equation is given as;

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

92.2 kJ of energy are evolved for each mole of N2(g) that reacts. And from the equation, 1 mole of N2 reacts.

The enthalpy change, ΔH = - 92.2KJ. The negative sign is because heat is being evolved.

The balanced thermochemical equation;

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃   ΔH = - 92.2KJ

What's an element in period 5 with larger radius than Yttrium?
eimsori [14]
Rubidium or strontium have larger a larger atomic radius since the further left on the periodic table you go, the larger the sizes of the atoms are.  This trend can be explained through effective nuclear charge which explains how the further left and down you go, the less the atoms nucleus is able to pull in the electrons around it.<span />
