The Lewis structure/diagram for CH2O (aka Formaldehyde) can be written in either of the following ways shown in the picture.
The dots represent electrons in the valence shell of the atom (the outermost shell). The green dots are electrons that belong to the Oxygen atom, the blue belong to the Carbon atom, and the pink belong to the Hydrogen atoms.
Covalent bonds are bonds between atoms where atoms share electrons with each other. Atoms bond because they obey the octet rule ( the rule states that most atoms of main-group elements tend to want 8 electrons in their valence shells).
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, Carbon has 4, and Hydrogen has 1. H does not follow the octet rule, but C and O do, so the atoms are arranged in this way so that the O and C atoms have a full octet of electrons in their valence.
Answer:
F
Explanation:
i dont know how water vapor would hit the ocean and go underground? so i think its F
The given sentence is part of a longer question.
I found this question with the same sentence. So, I will help you using this question:
For the reaction N2O4<span>(g) ⇄ 2NO</span>2(g), a reaction mixture at a certain temperature initially contains both N2O4 and NO2 in their standard states (meaning they are gases with a pressure of 1 atm<span>). If </span>Kp = 0.15, which statement is true of the reaction mixture before
any reaction occurs?
(a) Q = K<span>; The reaction </span>is at equilibrium.
(b) Q < K<span>;
The reaction </span>will proceed to
the right.
(c) Q > K<span>; The reaction </span>will proceed to the left.
The answer is the option (c) Q > K<span>; The reaction will proceed to the </span>left,
since Qp<span> = </span>1<span>, and 1 > 0.15.</span>
Explanation:
Kp is the equilibrium constant in term of the partial pressures of the gases.
Q is the reaction quotient. It is a measure of the progress of a chemical reaction.
The reaction quotient has the same form of the equilibrium constant but using the concentrations or partial pressures at any moment.
At equilibrium both Kp and Q are equal. Q = Kp
If Q < Kp then the reaction will go to the right (forward reaction) trying to reach the equilibrium,
If Q > Kp then the reaction will go to the left (reverse reaction) trying to reach the equilibrium.
Here, the state is that both pressures are 1 atm, so Q = (1)^2 / 1 = 1.
Since, Q = 1 and Kp = 0.15, Q > Kp and the reaction will proceed to the left.
