Answer:
If another scientist give better reasons;if they tested their hypothesis and it was wrong; if someone proved whatever the idea was to be wrong
Explanation:
I mean the list can go on at this point
First there is a need to calculate the molar mass of Ba(NO₃)₂:
137.3 + 2 (14.0) + 6 (16) = 261.3 grams/mole
The molar mass, denoted by M in chemistry refers to a physical characteristic illustrated as the mass of a given component divided by the amount of the component. The molar masses are always denoted in grams/mole.
After finding the molar mass, the number of moles can be identified as:
432 grams / 261.3 g/mol = 1.65 moles of Ba(NO₃)₂.
To create the Lewis structure we need to take into account the octet rule: atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.
C belongs to Group 4A in the periodic table so it has 4 valence electrons. It needs to share 4 pairs of electrons to complete the octet.
F belongs to Group 7A in the periodic table so it has 7 valence electrons. Each F needs to share 1 pair of electrons to complete the octet.
As a consequence, in CF₄, C will form a single bond with each F and all the octets will be complete.
