Draw the lewis structure of the hypochlorite ion clo- . include lone pairs

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]3 years ago
6 0

Solution:- Hypochlorite ion ClO^- has one Cl and one O atom. Cl has 7 valence electrons and O has 6 valence electrons. Since there is one negative charge on the ion,

total valence electrons = 7 + 6 +1 = 14

(note:- if there is negative charge then it is added  and if there is positive charge then it is subtracted while calculating the valence electrons)

Both Cl and O atoms wants to complete their octet and so for this we put a single bond between them. Single bond means two electrons, so the remaining electrons would be 14 - 2 = 12

It means 12 electrons will be placed as lone pair of electrons. To complete the octet, we put 6 dots around each of the atom. Oxygen is more electron negative than Cl, so we show the -1 charge for oxygen.

What is the mass of 0.100 mole of neon? (Watch sf’s)
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter D. 2.02 g

Explanation:

Data

moles of Ne = 0.100

atomic mass of Neon = 20.18 g

Process

1.- Use proportions to find the answer

                   20.18 g of Ne ------------------  1 mol of Ne

                        x                 ------------------  0.1 moles

                        x = (0.1 x 20.18)/1

                        x = 2.018

2.- Consider the significant figures

      0.100 has three significant figures so the answer must be  2.02 g
