Answer:
The resultant structure is shown below. This structure contains four shared pairs of electrons, which are located on all four "sides" of carbon's electron dot structure. Each of these shared pairs was created by pairing one of carbon's unpaired electrons with an unpaired electron from chlorine.
Explanation:
Answer:
Like most other metals, Gallium is solid at room temperature (or liquid if it is too hot in your room). But, if it is held [in hands] for long enough, it melts in your hands, and doesn't poison you like Mercury would. This is because of its unusually low melting point of (~29 degree Centigrade).
- It melts once it reaches its melting point.

Answer:
b) Phosphorus acid
Explanation:
To distinguish the type of acid of phosphorus with the oxidation state of +3, we need to be familiar with the chemical formula of each of the compounds:
Orthophosphoric acid H₃PO₄
Phosphorus acid H₃PO₃
Metaphosphoric acid HPO₃
Phyrophosphoric acid H₄P₂O₇
Now that we know the formula of the given compounds, the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero:
Only phosphorus acid yielded an oxidation state of +3 for phosphorus in the compound.
H₃PO₃:
we know the oxidation state of H = +1
O = -2
The oxidation state of P is unknown. We can express this as an equation:
3(+1) + P + 3(-2) = 0
3 + P -6 = 0
P-3 = 0
P = +3
Answer: The products usually weigh more than the reactants.
Explanation:
We know that domestic dogs are descended from wolves. Exactly when and how this occurred is still being studied; many experts indicate that dogs were first domesticated about 12,000 years ago, but a few DNA studies indicate a much earlier date for the split between the wolf and the dog, perhaps as long ago as 130,000 years.
Regardless of the exact timing of the divergence between wolves and dogs, one thing is true: both species display quite a bit of genetic diversity, particularly in size and coloration.In order to breed a dog of a specific size, all one has to do is choose parents with the appropriate variations. For instance, if you want to create a small dog breed, you would just breed the smallest dogs you have, then you would choose their smallest offspring to breed the next generation, and so on until you have reached the desired size.
