What is the formal charge of carbon in CO?|C≡O|​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anastasy [175]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

FC of C = -1

General Formulas and Concepts:

  • Lewis Dot Structures
  • Resonance Structures
  • Formal Charge: FC = # of valence e⁻ - # of lone e⁻ - # of bonds

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Carbon (C)

  • 4 valence e⁻
  • 2 lone e⁻
  • 3 bonds

Oxygen (O)

  • 6 valence e⁻
  • 2 lone e⁻
  • 3 bonds

<u>Step 2: FC of C</u>

  1. Substitute:                    FC = 4e⁻ - 2e⁻ - 3
  2. Subtract:                       FC = -1

Calcium and bromine have formed a bond. Leading up to this, calcium gave up electrons. It was a(n)
scZoUnD [109]
Leading up to this, calcium gave up 2 valence electrons and thus was denoted as a cation. These 2 electrons were transferred to bromine, which received an overall negative charge because of the addition of 2 valence electrons in its valence shell, and thus formed a negatively charged ion, an anion.

Both formed an ionic bond, due to the electrostatic charge of attraction between the 2 oppositely charged ions. If many ions of Ca and Br are present and numerous ionic bonds have formed it will undergo an arrangement which is that of an ionic lattice, type of structure.

Sam follows the directions on a box of pancake mix. The box says that it makes 10 pancakes, but he is able to make 8 pancakes fr
Mice21 [21]

Given that the pancake mix can be used for the preparation of 10 pancakes. The other ingredients added to the pancake mix would be eggs, cheese, milk, salt and baking soda. If all of thee ingredients are added to the pan cake mix in required proportions, we can make 10 pan cakes. So, the theoretical yield will be 10 pancakes. But in real Sam was able to prepare only 8 pancakes. That means the number of pancakes produced was limited by the amount of other ingredients. So, the actual yield will be 8 pancakes.

Hence the correct answer B) Theoretical yield
