There are 2 lone pairs

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Given

a molecule of calcium sulfide

two valence electron of Calcium(Ca)

six valence electrons of Sulfur(S)

Required

number of lone pairs of electrons

Solution

Lewis structure shows the form of bonds that occur in the valence electrons of an element or compound

Valence electrons are electrons used in a chemical bond

To achieve stability, the element S needs 2 more electrons which are obtained from 2 electrons from the Ca element,

A lone pair electrons means refers to an unshared pair of electrons(not bonding to the other atoms)

In the first distillation this week, which component of the original solvent mixture makes the larger contribution to the vapor
Olenka [21]

In the first distillation this week, Hexane from the original solvent makes a larger contribution to the vapor pressure of the mixture.

In between hexane and toluene, the hexane will have more vapor pressure contribution in the solution. The boiling point of hexane is much lower than toluene. Therefore, it will evaporate easily at low temperatures and start exerting pressure on the solution.

Hence between hexane and toluene, because of more vapor pressure of hexane and lower boiling point, it will easily evaporate and exerts pressure.

Therefore, from the original solvent, hexane makes a larger contribution to the vapor pressure of the mixture.

What are the two types of collisions? What is the difference between them? Types: a. Types: b. Compare and contrast the two type
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The two types of collisions are :

Type a)

<u>Elastic collision</u>

Type b)

<u>Inelastic collision</u>

Explanation:

Collision : It is the event when two bodies collide with each other for small period of time.

During collision , the bodies exert force to each other.

Example :

When boxer hits with punches .

When bat hits the ball in cricket match.

So, collision is short duration interaction of two objects. When the objects collides , there is  change in their velocity.

All collision follow law of conservation of momentum . Their type is decided by , whether they follow conservation of energy also.

<u>Compare and contrast the two types</u>

a) Elastic collision : Those collision in which no loss or gain of kinetic energy will occur. They follow conservation of kinetic energy. Example : ideal gaseous molecule

b) Inelastic collision : Those collision in which Change in kinetic energy will occur. They do not follow conservation of kinetic energy.Almost all conservation are inelastic.

Here Kinetic energy get converted into other form of energy.
