Due to the small and highly electronegative nature of fluorine, the oxyacids of the this element are much less common and less s

table than those of the other halogens. Bonding theory, however, does allow one to propose structures for these acids and use formal charges for the evaluation of these structures. For a molecule of fluorous acid, the atoms are arranged as HOFO. (Note: In this oxyacid, the placement of fluorine is an exception to the rule of putting the more electronegative atom in a terminal position.) What is the formal charge on each of the atoms? Enter the formal charges in the same order as the atoms are listed.

We are told we have an oxyacid of the formula HOFO. We will assume the atoms are in this order and will draw a proper lewis structure for this compound by first drawing bonds between each of the 4 atoms and then place the remaining electron pairs on each atom:
      ..    ..    ..
H - O - F - O:
      ··   ··    ··
We can calculate the formal charge of an atom using the following formula:

Formal charge = [# of valence electrons] - [# of non-bonded electrons + # of bonds]

H: Formal charge = [1]-[0+1] = 0

O: Formal charge = [6]-[4+2] = 0

F: Formal charge = [7]-[4+2] = +1

O: Formal charge = [6]-[6+1] = -1

As we can see the overall charge of the molecule is neutral since the fluorine as a +1 charge and the oxygen a -1 charge.

When the number of electrons in an atom changes, then the atom's_______ change.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

It would change the charge of the atom.

Explanation:

Added electrons cause atoms to be negatively charged, lost electrons cause atoms to be positively charged.

Or each set of elements represented in this periodic table outline, identify the principal quantum number, n , and the azimuthal
Tems11 [23]
The answer is potassium. It would be 4, and for neon would be 2. Just total which row of the periodic table you are on. The "L" tells you whether the highest-energy electron is in an "s" orbital (L=0) or a "p" orbital (L=1) or a "d" orbital (L=2) or an "f" orbital (L=3). The way in which these orbitals are filled is: for each of the first three rows (up to argon), two electrons in the "s" orbital are filled first, then 6 electrons in the "p"orbitals. The row where the potassium also starts with filling the "s" orbital at the new "n" level (4) but then goes back to satisfying up the "d" orbitals of n=3 before it seals up the "p"s for n=4.

The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. suppose we have a 200-mg sample.
Assoli18 [71]
a) To find  the mass after t years:

we will use this formula:

A = Ao / 2^n 

when A =the amount remaining

and Ao = the initial amount

and n = t / t(1/2)

by substitution:

∴ A = 200 mg/ 2^(t/30y)


b) Mass after 90 y :

by  using the previous formula and substitute t by 90 y

A = 200mg/ 2^(90y/30y)

∴ A = 25 mg

C) Time for 1 mg remaining:

when A= Ao/ 2^(t/t(1/2)

so, by substitution:

1 mg = 200 mg / 2^(t/30y)

∴2^(t/30y) = 200 mg  by solving for t

∴ t = 229 y
