The scientific question is “what is the growth rate of the fingerlings in 5% and 10% saline solutions?”
the other is a hypothesis
Answer:
FC of C = -1
General Formulas and Concepts:
- Lewis Dot Structures
- Resonance Structures
- Formal Charge: FC = # of valence e⁻ - # of lone e⁻ - # of bonds
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
Carbon (C)
- 4 valence e⁻
- 2 lone e⁻
- 3 bonds
Oxygen (O)
- 6 valence e⁻
- 2 lone e⁻
- 3 bonds
<u>Step 2: FC of C</u>
- Substitute: FC = 4e⁻ - 2e⁻ - 3
- Subtract: FC = -1
Hello,
I have attached a periodic table to allow you to further understand my answer. We know elements are categorized in groups of Metals, Nonmetals, and metalloids. Let’s analyze each element. Sulfur is a nonmetal which mean it does not conduct well and does not have a good appearance, the same applies to all the other non metals on this list, including sulfur and helium. Copper is our only answer in which it fits and electricity can pass through/conduct easily. So our answer is copper. I hope this helps you with your assignment.
