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

There are two components that accompany an element, the mass number and atomic number
Atoms are composed of 3 types of basic particles (subatomic particles): <em>protons, electrons, and neutrons </em>
The Atomic Number (Z) indicates the number of protons and electrons in an atom of an element.
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons ⇒ neutral number
Atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons
Atomic Number (Z) = Atomic mass (A) - Number of Neutrons
The element has 71 electrons and a charge of +1 , so
Number of protons = 71 + 1 = 72
Number of protons = the atomic number = 72
The element with atomic number 72 is Hafnium(Hf)
The atomic mass of Hf = 178 g/mol
Answer:
+4
Explanation:
, Oxygen always works with -2. You multiply with the number of atoms -2*3= -6
S=x+(-6)=-2
x-6=-2 -> x= -2+6 -> x= +4
