How many lone pairs of electrons are represented in the Lewis structure of a phosphate ion (PO43-)? 10 12 21 24

Chemistry

ra1l [238]2 years ago
6 0
To illustrate the Lewis structure,
P has 5 valence electrons
O has 6 valence electrons (each for 4 oxygen)
And finally, for every negative charge, there is an additional valence electron

We should add these all up = 5 + 24 + 3 = 32 valence electrons

With this, we can be guided to illustrate the lewis structure as P as central atom and the 3 oxygen each with a single bond with P and 1 oxygen with a double bond with P. We place the valence electrons until octet rule is satisfied,
we will be left with 12 lone pairs for phosphate ion.

Consider these two entries from a fictional table of standard reduction potentials.
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

1.89 V

Explanation:

To calculate the standard cell potential, subtract the reduction potential of the anode from the reduction potential of the cathode.

So for your calculation,

-0.22 V - (-2.11 V)= 1.89 V

The total charge of an atom comes from
Rus_ich [418]

The total charge on an atom comes from protons and electrons.

The proton is positively charged while the electron is negatively charged. A neutral atom would have an equal number of protons and electrons.

An atom with more protons than electrons will be positively charged while those with more electrons than protons will be negatively charged.
