What best describes the bonding in a carbon dioxide molecule?
gogolik [260]

Answer:

B. Carbon shares 2 pair of electrons with each oxygen.

Explanation:

  • Carbon dioxide is formed from combustion reactions, which involves a reaction between carbon and oxygen gas.
  • Carbon dioxide molecule is formed from one carbon atom and two oxygens. As an element, carbon only has 4 outer shell electrons and oxygen 6.
  • The two atoms require to gain electrons to achieve a stable configuration; carbon require to gain four electrons and oxygen requires two electrons.
  • Double covalent bonds form between the atoms, where two electrons from each atom are shared making 4 bonding electrons in total.

Hope it helped!

The density of a gold nugget is 19.3 g/cm3. If the volume of the gold nugget is 0.00369 L the mass of the nugget is
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 71.22 g

Explanation:

Data

Density = 19.3 g/cm³

Volume = 0.00369

mass = ?

Formula

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Solve for mass

mass = density x volume

Process

1.- Convert volume from liters to cubic centimeters

                 1 l ----------------  1000 cm³

             0.00369l ---------   x

                x = (0.00369 x 1000 ) / 1

                x = 3.69 cm³

2.- Substitution

       mass = 19.3 x 3.69

3.- Simplification and result

       mass = 71.22 g

Substitution Reactions are those reactions in which one nucleophile replaces another nucleophile present on a substrate. These reactions can take place via two different mechanism i.e SN¹ or SN². In SN¹ substitution reactions the leaving group leaves first forming a carbocation and nucleophile attacks carbocation in the second step. While in SN² reactions the addition of Nucleophile and leaving of leaving group take place simultaneously.
 
Example:
                        OH⁻  +  CH₃-Br     →     CH₃-OH  +  Br⁻

In above reaction,

                   OH⁻  = Incoming Nucleophile

                   CH₃-Br  =  Substrate

                   CH₃-OH  =  Product

                   Br⁻  =  Leaving group

Organic reactions are typically slower than ionic reactions because in organic compounds the covalent bonds are first broken, this breaking of bonds is a slower step, while, in ionic compounds no bond breakage is required as it consists of ions, so only bond formation takes place which is a quicker and fast step.

Which statement is correct? Group of answer choices none of these H2O is linear. The bonds in LiF have a more covalent character
Sergio [31]

Answer: The statement molecule ClO_{2} cannot be accurately described by a Lewis structure consistent with the octet rule, is true.

Explanation:

As the chemical formula of water is H_{2}O and since it contains electronegative oxygen atom which also has 2 lone pair of electrons. Hence, lone pair-bond pair repulsion occurs due to which water has a bent shape structure.

The compound LiF contains metal lithium and non-metal fluorine. In order to obtain stability lithium donates its valence electron to the fluorine atom leading to the formation of an ionic bond. Hence, LiF is an ionic compound and not a covalent compound.

Generally, ionic compounds are polar in nature. For example, KOH is a polar compound and Cl_{2} is a non-polar compound.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement molecule ClO_{2} cannot be accurately described by a Lewis structure consistent with the octet rule, is true.
