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)

There are two kinds of mixtures

a) homogeneous : the boundary of the two components is not physically distinct

b) heterogeneous:the boundary of the two components is  physically distinct

the following separation techniques are common for mixtures

1) filtration: if the two components are forming heterogeneous mixture we can separate them by filtration.

2) boiling: if boiling point of one of the components is less than other

3) magnetic separation: if one of the component is magnetic

4)sieve method: for solid components with difference in size of particles

5) hand picking

Thus the correct match will be as shown in the figure

Does SiF4 have polar covalent bonds?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

SiF4 is not a polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

SiF4 is a nonpolar molecule because the fluorine's are arranged around the central silicon atom in a tetrahedral molecule with all of the regions of negative charge cancelling each other out.

___AsCl3+____H2S--&gt;___As2S3+___HCI​
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

2 AsCl₃ + 3 H₂S → As₂S₃ + 6 HCl

Explanation:

When we balance a chemical equation, what we are trying to do is to achieve the same number of atoms for each element on both sides of the arrow. On the right of the arrow is where we can find the products, while the reactants are found on the left of the arrow.

We usually balance O and H atoms last.

AsCl₃ + H₂S → As₂S₃ +HCl

<u>reactants</u>

As --- 1

Cl --- 3

H --- 2

S --- 1

<u>products</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 1

H --- 1

S --- 3

2 AsCl₃ + H₂S → As₂S₃ +HCl

<u>reactants</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 2

S --- 1

<u>products</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 1

H --- 1

S --- 3

The number of As atoms is now balanced.

2 AsCl₃ + 3 H₂S → As₂S₃ +HCl

<u>reactants</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 6

S --- 3

<u>products</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 1

H --- 1

S --- 3

The number of S atoms is now equal on both sides.

2 AsCl₃ + 3 H₂S → As₂S₃ + 6 HCl

<u>reactants</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 6

S --- 3

<u>products</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 6

S --- 3

The equation is now balanced.
