Formal charge can be calculated from the following formula
Formal charge = valency of central atom - (number of lone pair of electrons + number of covalent bonds)
a) for methylene:
Formal charge = 4 -( 2+ 2) = 0
b) For methyl free radical
Formal charge = 4- (3 +1) = 0
Answer:
0.68 V
Explanation:
For anode;
3Mg(s) ---->3Mg^2+(aq) + 6e
For cathode;
2Al^3+(aq) + 6e -----> 2Al(s)
Overall balanced reaction equation;
3Mg(s) + 2Al^3+(aq) ----> 3Mg^2+(aq) + 2Al(s)
Since
E°anode = -2.356 V
E°cathode = -1.676 V
E°cell=-1.676 -(-2.356)
E°cell= 0.68 V
Answer:
Limitations of Rutherford Atomic Model
Although the Rutherford atomic model was based on experimental observations it failed to explain certain things. Rutherford proposed that the electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed paths called orbits. ... Ultimately the electrons would collapse in the nucleus.
