Option B: B2O3

In order to make a compound, it has to be neutral. We have to combine the +3 charged and the -2 charges until they cancel out.

The only possible compound is B2O3, since the positive charges add up to +6 and the negative charges add up to -6.

The formula is B2O3. The charges need to equal each other to obtain a neutral compound of no charge hence 2 B has a charge of +6 and 3 O has a charge of -6 to cancel out each other, resulting in a stable uncharged compound.

What is the angle between the carbon-sulfur bonds in the carbon disulfide ( cs2 ) molecule?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

180º

Explanation:

Carbon has 4 valence electrons and to complete the octet requires 4 more , so it will share with the oxigen atoms 4 more, forming a single and a pi bond similar to CO2

Since the carbon does not have lone pairs, the geometry around this central atom will be linear and the angle will be 180 ,   S = C = S

What is the mole fraction of water in pure water
irinina [24]
In pure water, all of the molecules in the liquid are water molecules so the mole fraction is 1 (100 % H2O, 55 mol/L). In sea water, the concentration of water molecules in the solution is less than that of pure water so the vapor pressure of sea water is also lower.
