Answer:
Refer to your periodic table. Lewis dot structures are based off the number of valence electrons an atom has.
Looking at the compounds, we can see that Gallium has three valence electrons in its outer shell and oxygen has six. Oxygen and Gallium are going to share electrons with one another, making a V shape in their diagram.
One Oxygen would make a double bond with a Gallium, leaving one valence electron to another oxygen. That oxygen takes that Final electron. It now has 7 in its outer shell. The remaining Gallium and Oxygen do the same double bond as the one before, leaving the 7 valence electron oxygen with one more electron.
Answer:
The reason they don't react is because Elements with full octets are stable, the Elements with no unpaired electrons do not react at all in the decay.

Answer:
The equilibrium expression is:
CoC2O4(s)⇌Co2+(aq)+C2O2−4(aq)
For this reaction:
Ksp = [Co2+][C2O2−4]=1.96×10−8
Explanation:
Batteries will not clot if cobalt ions are removed from its cells. Some blood collection tubes contain salts of the oxalate ion,
C2O2−4
, for this purpose. At sufficiently high concentrations, the calcium
and oxalate ions form solid, CoC2O4·H2O (which also contains water bound in the solid). The concentration of Co2+ in a sample of blood serum is 2.2 × 10–3M. What concentration of
C2O2−4
ion must be established before CoC2O4·H2O begins to precipitate.
CoC2O4 does not appear in this expression because it is a solid. Water does not appear because it is the solvent.
Solid CoC2O4 does not begin to form until Q equals Ksp. Because we know Ksp and [Co2+], we can solve for the concentration of
C2O2−4
that is necessary to produce the first trace of solid:
