Formal charge can be calculated from the following formula
Formal charge = valency of central atom - (number of lone pair of electrons + number of covalent bonds)
a) for methylene:
Formal charge = 4 -( 2+ 2) = 0
b) For methyl free radical
Formal charge = 4- (3 +1) = 0
Answer:
Lewis structure in attachment.
Explanation:
Atoms of elements in and beyond the third period of the periodic table form some compounds in which more than eight electrons surround the central atom. In addition to the 3s and 3p orbitals, elements in the third period also have 3d orbitals that can be used in bonding. These orbitals enable an atom to form an <u>expanded octet</u>.
The central Xe atom in the XeF₄ molecule has <u>two</u> unbonded electron pairs and <u>four</u> bonded electron pairs in its valence shell.
Explanation:
Conjugated diene is the one that contains alternate double bonds in its structure. That means both the double bonds are separated by a single bond.
Cumulated diene is the one that contains two double bonds on a single atom. This means it has two double bonds continuously.
Isolated double-bonded compound has a single bond isolated by two to three single bonds.
Compound A: Two alkenes are joined by a sigma bond.
For example:
It is a conjugated diene.
Compound B: Two alkenes are joined by a C H 2 group.
It is a cumulative diene.
Compound C: Two alkenes are joined by C H 2 C H 2.
Then it is an isolated alkene.
Compound D: A cyclohexene has a double bond between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 3 is an sp 2 carbon that is bonded to another s p 2 carbon with an alkyl substituent.
Hence, compound D is a conjugated diene.
<span>False. Foods that allow microorganism to grow are not called parasites. Parasites are organisms that feeds on the nutrients of its host.
For example leeches. They suck on our blood.

Answer:
balanced in ACID not BASE
Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O
Answer
Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O
Explanation:
Cr2O7^2-(aq) + Hg(l) ----> Hg^2+(aqH) + Cr^3+(aq)
add H^1+ (acid) to capture the O and make 7 water molecules
Cr2O7^2-(aq) + Hg(l) + H^1+ ----> Hg^2+(aqH) + Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O
Cr goes from +6 to +3 by gaining 3 e
Hg goes from 0 to +2 by losing 2 e
we need 3 Hg for every 2 Cr
so
Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O
2 Cr on the right and left
Net 12 positive charges on the right and the left
3 Hg on the right and left
14 H on the right and left
the equation is balanced
we cannot balance the equation in a basic solution with OH^1-
we have plenty of O in the dichromate ion. we need to convert it to water which take free H^1+ from the acid
