Complete these structures by adding electron dots as needed.
LiRa [457]
This is hard to show but here is how you would determine these. NOTE each dot is an electron. 
<span>Question 1) </span>
<span>F-H </span>
<span>1) determine the valance electrons for each. F has 7 and H has 1 </span>
<span>2) one electron from both F and H form the bond "-" which means that you still have 6 electrons to place around F and none to place around H. Place the 6 in sets of 2 around the F </span>
<span>.. </span>
<span>F-H </span>
<span>¨ </span>
<span>Question 2) </span>

<span>2) H-O-H </span>
<span>H has 1 valence electron minus 1 used in the bond to O = 0 electrons to place </span>
<span>H has 1 valence electron minus 1 used in the bond to O = 0 electrons to place </span>
<span>O has 6 valence electrons minus 2 used in the bonds to the H's = 4 electrons to place </span>

<span>H-O-H: place two dots above and below the oxygen </span>

<span>Question 3) </span>
<span>3) O=N----H : NOTE: a double bond requires O and N to share two of their electrons each </span>
<span>O has 6 valence electrons minus 2 used in the bonds to N = 4 electrons to place </span>
<span>N has 5 valence electrons minus 3 used in the bonds to O and H = 2 electrons to place </span>
<span>H has 1 valence electron minus 1 used in the bond to N = 0 electrons to place </span>
<span>place the 2 dots on top and bottom of oxygen. </span>
<span>place 2 above the N </span>

Explain how astronomers use spectrographs to identify the composition of a star.
Gwar [14]
Each element absorbs light at specific wavelengths unique to that atom. When astronomers look at an object's spectrum, they can determine its composition based on these wavelengths. The most common method astronomers use to determine the composition of stars, planets, and other objects is spectroscopy.
hope this helps you! :-)

Develop a demonstration to show how weight is not the same thing as mass
maksim [4K]

Answer with Explanation:

"Mass" and "weight" should never be used interchangeably with each other. Mass refers to the <u>total amount of matter</u><u> that can be measured in an object, </u>while weight refers to the<u> measure of the</u><u> force of gravity</u><u> that is acting on the object's mass.</u>

The mass of an object is<u> constant</u> (meaning, it doesn't change even if the object will be placed on another location) while the weight of an object relies on the <em>force of gravity.</em> So, this means that your mass on Earth and on the moon are identical, however, your weight on Earth and on the Moon are different. You will weigh lesser on the Moon because it has a lesser surface gravity than that of Earth.

So, this explains the answer.

If a sample of air in a school container was heated, would the percentage of oxygen in the air increase, decrease, or remain unc
Viktor [21]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

Let's suppose we have a sample of air in a closed container. We heat the container and we want to predict what would happen to the pressure.

According to Gay-Lussac's law, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

Thus, if we increased the temperature of the air by heating it, its pressure would increase.

If a sample of air in a closed container was heated, the total pressure of the air would increase.
