Answer:
b. One electron state is an anti-bonding orbital, which results in an absence of electron density between atoms.
Explanation:
This equation represents a single replacement reaction. Single replacement reactions consist of one element reacting with one compound on the reactant side (left side of the equation) and they form one new element and one new compound on the product side of the equation (right side).
Group names in the periodic table give clues about the metallic properties of the elements.
Metallic elements are found on the left side of the periodic table. A simple conception of metals describes them as a lattice of positive ions immersed in a sea of electrons.
We have been given the condition that carbon makes up 35%
of the mass of the substance and the rest is made up of oxygen. With this, it
can be concluded that 65% of the substance is made up of oxygen. If we let x be
the mass of oxygen in the substance, the operation that would best represent
the scenario is,
<span> x = (0.65)(5.5 g)</span>
<span> <em> </em><span><em>x =
3.575 g</em></span></span>
