7 valance electrons and a atomic number of 9
Answer:
i can't see the image so sorry
Explanation:
i couldnt see the imagee
Sodium chlorate decomposes into sodium chloride and oxygen.
The reaction is
NaClO3 --Δ--> NaCl + O2
The Δ means that heat is used
This equation is still not balanced.
Balancing the equation
2NaClO3 --Δ--> 2NaCl + 3O2
The equation is now balanced.
1)Identify the atoms that are participating in a covalent bond.
2)Draw each atom by using its element symbol. The number of valence electrons is shown by placing up to two dots on each side of the element symbol, with each dot representing a single valence electron.
3)Predict the number of covalent bonds each atom will make using the octet rule.
4)Draw the bonding atoms next to each other, showing a single covalent bond as either a pair of dots or a line representing a shared valence electron pair. If the molecule forms a double or triple bond, use two or three lines to represent the shared electron pairs, respectively.
