Answer:

CHO2- ion

Explanation:

We have the lewis structure of a formate-ion here

This is CHO2-.

The carbon atom is the central atom in the structure. It's the least electronegative atom (C). Carbon has 4 valence electrons. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons.

The carbon will bind with 1 hydrogen atom, this will form 1 single bond, because hydrogen has 1 valence electron.

The carbon will bind with oxygen via a double bond.

Since carbon has only 4 valence electrons, it can only form 1 bond with the other oxygen atom.

There will formed 1 double bond between C and O and 1 single bond between C and O resulting in a negative charged O-atom.

This means there are two resonance structures. for the CHO2- ion

How big is an electron compared to a proton?

Romashka [77]

A proton has about 1836 times the mass of an electron. The best estimate of physicists is that the radius of a proton is about 8×10-16m and the radius of an electron is about 10-16m . If they are correct, then a proton has about ten times the diameter of an electron

The _____ is the organelle that recycles unneeded molecules

Aneli [31]

Answer: Lysosomes

Explanation: The lysosome is an organelle that contains digestive enzymes and acts as the organelle-recycling facility of an animal cell. It breaks down old and unnecessary structures so their molecules can be reused. Lysosomes are part of the endomembrane system, and some vesicles that leave the Golgi are bound for the lysosome.

Many ionic compounds form crystal structures. How and why does this happen?

lesantik [10]

Ions bound together by electrostatic attraction form ionic crystals. ... A simple cubic crystal lattice has ions equally spaced in 3D at 90° angles. Stability of ionic solids depends on lattice energy, which is released in the form of heat when two ions are brought together to form a solid.

What would be the change in pressure in a sealed 10.0 l vessel due to the formation of n2 gas when the ammonium nitrite in 2.40

larisa86 [58]

The change in pressure in a sealed 10.0L vessel is 5.28 atm

calculation

The pressure is calculated using the ideal gas equation

That is P=n RT

where;

P (pressure)= ?

v( volume) = 10.0 L

n( number of moles) which is calculated as below

write the equation for decomposition of NH₄NO₂

NH₄NO₂ → N₂ +2H₂O

Find the moles of NH₄NO₂

moles = molarity x volume in liters

= 2.40 l x 0.900 M =2.16 moles

Use the mole ratio to determine the moles of N₂

that is from equation above NH₄NO₂:N₂ is 1:1 therefore the moles of N₂ is also =2.16 moles

R(gas constant) =0.0821 l.atm/mol.K

T(temperature) = 25° c into kelvin = 25 +273 =298 K

make p the subject of the formula by diving both side by V

P = nRT/V

p ={ (2.16 moles x 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K x 298 K) /10.0 L} = 5.28 atm.
