Answer:
B) neuron or nerve cell work is to carry messages
The Lewis structure the student drew is incorrect. The total number of electrons in bonds and lone pairs is equal to the total number of valence electrons available, then a valid Lewis structure is produced.
The correct structure is the following:
The structure that was drawn by the student was incorrect because the total number of electrons around Oxygen were incorrect, there were 6 instead of 8, which was against the octet rule. The correct structure should have 8 electrons around each atom.
Answer:
c) An element is made up of all the same type of atom
Explanation:
Atoms are the smallest unit of an element that consists of protons, electrons and neutrons in its structure. An element is the smallest part of a chemical substance that cannot be disintegrated i.e. it cannot be broken down further.
Atoms and elements are different in many ways but they are connected in the sense that an element contains only one type of atoms. For example, aluminum element is made up of only aluminum atoms. Different atoms form a molecule but same atoms form an element.
