For neutral molecules, which statements about covalent lewis structures are true?

Chemistry

Zanzabum4 years ago
7 0
Lewis structures have the distinct characteristic of electron dots drawn around an atom. They represent the valence electrons or the electron located at the outermost shell of the atom that takes part in chemical reactions. 

For neutral compounds, they simply add the valence electrons of the individual atoms. This is because it has no charge. Whatever the net charge of the compound is, that would be added, as well.

For example, the HCl atom's valence electrons would be 1 + 7 + 0 = 8. Therefore, you draw 8 electron dots around the HCl compound.

The idea that the earth is divided into a number of small plates that float on the mantle and slide,collide,and slip past each o
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Theories

Explanation:

It is theories because it was a generalistee abstract or thinking generalising the principle of fact about Earth tectonic plates ,it was formulated and concluded as plate tectonic theories after many findings. The theories conclude that the Earth has an outer layer called lithosphere and lies overly a plastic layer called asthenosphere. The lithosphere is divided into several plates and they move close to each other where they diverge, converge or slip over one another.

List and describe the three rock types in the rock cycle including two or more processes involved in the formation of each type
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:    The three main rock types are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.

   The three processes that change one rock to another are crystallization, metamorphism, and erosion and sedimentation.

   Any rock can transform into any other rock by passing through one or more of these processes. This creates the rock cycle.

Calculate the amount of heat needed to boil of benzene (), beginning from a temperature of . Be sure your answer has a unit symb
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Check explanation

Explanation:

From the question, the parameters given are 64.7g of benzene,C6H6; a starting temperature of 41.9°C and bringing it to 33.2°C.

Molar mass of benzene,C6H6= 78.11236 g/mol.

Things to know: heat capacity of benzene, C6H6= 1.63 J/g.K, the heat of fusion = 9.87 kj/mol.

STEP ONE(1): ENERGY USED IN MELTING BENZENE SOLID.

Using the formula below;

Energy used in melting the solid(in JOULES) = (mass of benzene/molar mass of benzene) × heat of Fusion.

=(64.7 g of C6H6/ 78.11236(g per mol) of C6H6) × 9.87 kJ per mol.

= 8.175 J.

= 0.008175 kJ.

STEP TWO (2): ENERGY OF HEATING THE LIQUID.

It can be calculated from the formula below;

Energy= heat capacity (J/g.K) × mass of benzene× (∆T).

= 1.63 J/g.K × 64.7 × (41.9-33.2).

= 917.5J.

= 0.9175 kJ.

Energy required to boil benzene= Energy required to melt the bezene + energy required for boiling.

= 0.008175+ 0.9175.

= 0.93kJ

Approximately, 1 kJ
