We are told we have an oxyacid of the formula HOFO. We will assume the atoms are in this order and will draw a proper lewis structure for this compound by first drawing bonds between each of the 4 atoms and then place the remaining electron pairs on each atom:
.. .. ..
H - O - F - O:
·· ·· ··
We can calculate the formal charge of an atom using the following formula:
Formal charge = [# of valence electrons] - [# of non-bonded electrons + # of bonds]
H: Formal charge = [1]-[0+1] = 0
O: Formal charge = [6]-[4+2] = 0
F: Formal charge = [7]-[4+2] = +1
O: Formal charge = [6]-[6+1] = -1
As we can see the overall charge of the molecule is neutral since the fluorine as a +1 charge and the oxygen a -1 charge.
I cannot see your question to help you... sorry
An acid is an ionic compound that produces positive hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. Acids taste sour and turn blue litmus paper red. A base is an ionic compound that produces negative hydroxide ions when dissolved in water. Bases taste bitter and turn red litmus paper blue.
It gains 2 electrons from a metal
Assuming the kind of vibration you are talking about is the kind where you stretch the rubber band between two points and then "twang" it, then the answer is fairly complex. What happens when you cause the vibrations to start is you make something called a "standing wave". In a standing wave, each particle in the rubber band has a certain amount of energy which causes it to move backwards and forwards, the particles with more energy have a larger "amplitude" (how much they move), and of course the particles with less energy have a smaller amplitude. Now a standing wave has two main components: The amplitude, and the frequency. The amplitude of the whole wave refers to the largest amplitude any particles has. The frequency refers to how often it takes for one of the particles to move between the two furthest away points it can be.
To compare rubber bands, you must remember to keep certain things constant. If you're looking at their vibrations, the amount of energy you use to "twang" the rubber band should be the same each time you twang it (which is the same as applying the same force each time you twang it).
A larger rubber band has more area over which to spread the energy, as well as it has more mass for the energy to move, so the vibrations will have smaller amplitudes, and smaller frequencies, overall vibrating less and with smaller vibrations.
