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)

Which of the following types of reactions would decrease the entropy within a cell? A. Dehydration reaction, B. Hydrolysis, C. R
kicyunya [14]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. Dehydration reactions.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Dehydration reactions refer to chemical events where a water molecule is lost because of the presence of another reacting molecule.
  • Dehydration reaction is said to cause a decrease in entropy in various cells.
  • <em><u>Entropy within a cell refers to a state of inner instability secondary to different energies provided by the different molecular components.</u></em>
  • <em><u>When the water component is removed,  there will be less molecular energy and therefore decreased entropy.</u></em>

Two billiard balls having masses of 0.2 kg and 0.15kg approach each other. The first ball having a velocity of 2m/s hit the seco
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: The velocity of the first ball is 0.875 m/s if the second ball travels at 1.5 m/s after collision.

Explanation:

Given: m_{1} = 0.2 kg,      m_{2} = 0.15 kg

v_{1} = 2 m/s,    v_{2} = 0 m/s,      v'_{1} = ?,          v'_{2} = 1.5 m/s

Formula used is as follows.

m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2} = m_{1}v'_{1} + m_{2}v'_{2}

where,

v = velocity before collision

v' = velocity after collision

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2} = m_{1}v'_{1} + m_{2}v'_{2}\\0.2 kg \times 2 m/s + 0.15 kg \times 0 m/s = 0.2 kg \times v'_{1} + 0.15 kg \times 1.5 m/s\\0.4 kg m/s + 0 = 0.2v'_{1} + 0.225 kg m/s\\0.2v'_{1} kg = 0.175 kg m/s\\v'_{1} = \frac{0.175 kg m/s}{0.2 kg}\\= 0.875 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that the velocity of the first ball is 0.875 m/s if the second ball travels at 1.5 m/s after collision.

A substance is tested in a lab. It is found to maintain a unique shape and is a good conductor of electricity. If it is made up
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer is: solid.

There are five fundamental states of matter (gas, liquid, solid, plasma and Bose–Einstein condensate).

In solid, molecules are closely packed, stiff and do not changes of shape or volume. Solid object (for example iron) does not take on the shape of its container.

Liquids have definite volume, but no fixed shape.

Gases (for example nitrogen and neeon) not have definite volume and fixed shape, it depends on its container.

Plasma is a an ionised gas with highly electrical conductivity.

A solid reactant is placed into a beaker of a warm water. The liquid vigorously bubbles as the solid dissolves into the solution
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Fewer bubbles will be produced because of fewer collisions of reactant molecules

Explanation:

As the solid dissolves into the solution after the liquid has been vigorously bubbled, if the temperature of the liquid is reduced a little, what will happen is that fewer bubbles will be produced as a result of lesser amount of collisions occurring between the reactant molecules
