Can a molecular formula show the arrangement of atoms in a molecule? Is it true or false?

Use Lewis diagrams to show how electrons are shared to form covalent bonds in compounds wit the following atoms. Write the formu

bixtya [17]

The Lewis structure/diagram for CH2O (aka Formaldehyde) can be written in either of the following ways shown in the picture.
The dots represent electrons in the valence shell of the atom (the outermost shell). The green dots are electrons that belong to the Oxygen atom, the blue belong to the Carbon atom, and the pink belong to the Hydrogen atoms.
Covalent bonds are bonds between atoms where atoms share electrons with each other. Atoms bond because they obey the octet rule ( the rule states that most atoms of main-group elements tend to want 8 electrons in their valence shells).
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, Carbon has 4, and Hydrogen has 1. H does not follow the octet rule, but C and O do, so the atoms are arranged in this way so that the O and C atoms have a full octet of electrons in their valence.

(Numerical problems) A car is running with the velocity of 72km/h. What will be it's velocity after 5s if it's acceleration is -

kodGreya [7K]

The car's velocity after 5s : 10 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

velocity=v=72 km/h=20 m/s

time=t = 5 s

acceleration=a = -2 m/s²

Required

velocity after 5s

Solution

Straight motion changes with constant acceleration

$\tt v_f=v_i+at$

vf=final velocity

vi = initial velocity

Input the value :

$\tt v_f=20+(-2).5\\\\v_f=20-10\\\\v_f=10~m/s$

The car is decelerating (acceleration is negative) so that its speed decreases

A voltaic cell utilizes the following reaction: 4Fe2+(aq)+O2(g)+4H+(aq)→4Fe3+(aq)+2H2O(l). What is the emf of this cell under st

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

0.46 V

Explanation:

The emf for the cell is given by:

Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction

From the given balanced chemical equation, we can deduce that Fe²⁺ has been oxidized to Fe³⁺, and O reduced from 0 to negative 2, according to the half cell reactions:

4Fe²⁺ ⇒ Fe³⁺ + 4e⁻ oxidation

O₂ + 4H⁺ + 4 e⁻ ⇒ 2 H₂O reduction

From reference tables for the standard reduction potential, we get

Eº red Fe³⁺ / Fe²⁺ Eºred = 0.77 V

Eº red O₂ / H₂O Eºred = 1.23 V

Now all we need to do is change the sign of Eº reduction for the species being oxidized ( Fe²⁺ ) and add it to Eº reduction O₂:

Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction = - (0.77 V ) + 1.23 V = 0.46 V

Which tool or tools would you use to measure and compare the mass of a cup of fresh water and a cup of salt water

Artemon [7]

You could use a scale to measure the mass as well as a cup to hold the water. If you were comparing the two, you should also probably use a graduated cylinder to get the same amount of each type of water.

Hope this helped ^_^
