7 valance electrons the Lewis structure for a chlorine atom show.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Lewis structure is used to keep track of the valance electrons of each atom and share them in bonding. Every valance electron is represented as a dot around the element to keep their count.

Paired VE’s are shown as ‘:’ and unpaired as ‘.’ in the representation. A chlorine Cl atom has 17 electrons. & of them are valance electrons. Out of the seven six are paired electrons and one is unpaired.

What is the process for extracting oils

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Oil is extracted by three general methods: rendering, used with animal products and oleaginous fruits; mechanical pressing, for oil-bearing seeds and nuts; and extracting with volatile solvents, employed in large-scale operations for a more complete extraction than is possible with pressing.

How are water-based solutions formed?

drek231 [11]

Answer:

D. Solutions are formed when the water’s polar molecules separate the polar molecules of an ionic or molecular compound.

Explanation:

Solutions are homogeneous mixtures formed by interaction between solutes and solvents.

Water based solutions have water as the solvents and mostly ionic and molecular compounds as their solutes.

Water is a polar solvent that is capable of dissolving many compounds by hydrating them. The molecules of water surrounds the solute and forces them to separate.
