I keep getting them wrong can someone help me pls

Draw a lewis structure for ketene, c2h2o, which has a carbon–carbon double bond

MrMuchimi

Visual representation of covalent bonding indicating the valence shell electrons in the molecule, lines represents the shared pair of electron and pair of electrons that are not involved in bonding are represented as dots(lone pairs) are known as Lewis structures.

Compound formation takes place in order to complete the octet of each element that is according to octet rule, each atom forms bond with other atom in order to complete their octet that is to get eight electrons in its valence shell and attain stability.

An organic compound of the form $R^{'}R^{''}C=C=O$ is known as ketene.

The given ketene is $C_2H_2O$ .

The number of valence electron of:

$C = 4$

$H = 1$

$O = 6$

The number of valence electrons in $C_2H_2O$ = $2\times 4+2\times 1+1\times 6 =16$

2 electrons are involved in each single bond between carbon and hydrogen and 4 electrons are involved in each double bond formed between carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen. Hence, the total number of electrons involved in bond formation are 12 and rest 2 pair of electrons are present on oxygen as lone pair of electrons.

Therefore, the attached image is the Lewis structure of $C_2H_2O$ .

How does the global positioning system locate objects on Earth

GREYUIT [131]

Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone who is more informed on this than I am, but wouldn't it be because of the magnetic fields and whatnot? The longer I think on it, the more I feel like I'm wrong, so don't take my word for it 100%

Answer:

Explanation:

Kory goes outside to grill some hamburgers. He tells Ethan that when you cook meat, a chemical reation is taking place. Ethan says "That's perpostrous!" Is Kory Correct??

absolutely Kory is correct

evidence of a chemical reaction are

new odor and or taste

change in color

signs of bubbling

direct effect of temperature on rate of change

evidence of a new substance being formed

we observe all these when we grill meat.

Which of the following isoelectronic series is correctly ranked from largest ionic radius to smallest ionic radius? 1. N 3−, O 2

love history [14]

Answer:

Option 1: N⁻³ > O⁻² > F⁻ > Na⁺ > Mg⁺²

Explanation:

Ionic radius is the radius of an atom´s ion in ionic crystal structure. In an ion that lose an electron, to form a cation, the radius of the ion gets smaller, because the repulsion between electrons decrease because fewer electrons are present. Conversely, adding on electron to a neutral atom, to form an anion, causes electron - electron repulsions to increase, so the size of the radius of the ion gets bigger.

Isoelectronic species are ions or elements that have the same number of electrons in their electronic shells but have different overall charges, because of their different atomic numbers.

In a isolelectronic series (same number of electrons), the increase of the positive charge (given by the number of protons in the nucleus), will cause a decrease in radius beacuse the greater electrostatic attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. Consequently, the ion with the greatest nuclear charge will have the smallest ionic radius and the ion with the smallest nulear charge will have the largest ionic radius.

We will use this principle to solve our problem.

In our case, the given ions are:

N⁻³ : Z = 7, e⁻ = 10
O⁻²: Z= 8, e⁻ =10
F⁻: Z = 9, e⁻ = 10
Na⁺: Z= 11, e⁻ = 10
Mg⁺²: Z=12, e⁻ =10

where Z= number of protons, and e⁻ = number of electrons.

Hence the decreasing order of ionic radius is:

N⁻³ > O⁻² > F⁻ > Na⁺ > Mg⁺²

Have a nice day!
