Explanation says: “CO2 contains two double covalent bonds. Each double bond is represented by 4 electrons shared between the atoms. This is the best shown in diagram (3).”

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

The Lewis structure of a substance is otherwise known as its dot electron structure. It gives an immediate picture of the bonding and number of electron pairs in the molecule. The diagram shows only the valence electrons on each of the bonding atoms in the molecule and how they combine to form the molecule under consideration.

The correct Lewis structure for CO2 is shown in the image attached. CO2 has 16 valence electrons. This can be verified by counting the number of dots in the image attached.

Please help this is so hard 1: Why is the sky blue?

kolezko [41]

Answer:

1. As white light passes through our atmosphere, tiny air molecules cause it to 'scatter'. Therefore, blue light is scattered more than red light and the sky appears blue during the day.

2. We can see the moon during the day for the same reason we see the moon at night. The surface of the moon is reflecting the sun's light into our eyes. When we see the moon during the day it's because the moon is in the right spot in the sky and it's reflecting enough light to be as bright, or brighter, than the sky.

3. At eight pounds per gallon, that's another 38,593,169,564 pounds of water in the air. Add it all up, and the total weight of our sky is 12,107,415,382,493,169,564 pounds, more than 12 quintillion pounds!

4. 5.972 × 10^24 kg

5. Four forces keep an airplane in the sky. They are lift, weight, thrust and drag. Lift pushes the airplane up.

6. Water is wet, in the sense of being a liquid which flows easily, because its viscosity is low, which is because its molecules are rather loosely joined together.

7. Rainbows are formed when sunlight is scattered from raindrops into the eyes of an observer. The lower the sun in the sky the more of an arc of a rainbow the viewer will see. Rain, fog or some other source of water droplets must be in front of the viewer.

8. Birds can sit on power lines and not get electric shocks because the electricity is always looking for a way to get to the ground. The birds are not touching the ground or anything in contact with the ground, so the electricity will stay in the power line.

Determine the electron geometry, molecular geometry and polarity of tecl6.

Delvig [45]

The electron geometry of TeCl6 is octahedral, while the molecular geometry is octahedral, non polar.
Octahedral geometry or six electron pairs is the basic geometry for a molecule containing a central atom with six pairs of electrons, such as TeCl6 or SF6. As we replace bonding pairs with non bonding pairs the molecular geometry changes to square pyramidal to square planar.

what is the pH of a solution that has a hydronium ion concentration 100 times greater than a solution with a pH of 4

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Explanation:

First, find the hydronium ion concentration of the solution with a pH of 4.

[H₃O⁺] = 10^-pH

[H₃O⁺] = 10⁻⁴

[H₃O⁺] = 1 × 10⁻⁴

Next, multiple the hydronium ion concentration by 100 to find the hydronium ion concentration of the new solution.

[H₃O⁺] = 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ × 100 = 0.01

Lastly, find the pH.

pH = -log [H₃O⁺]

pH = -log (0.01)

pH = 2

The pH of a solution that has a hydronium ion concentration 100 times greater than a solution with a pH of 4 is 2.

Hope this helps.

2<br> CuCl2 +4KI -> 2 Cul + 4 KCI + 12

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is an example of a limiting reactant question, and is very common as a general chemistry problem.

We first see the balanced equation, that is:

2CuCl2+4KI→2CuI+4KCl+I2

We first need to find the limiting reactant

We see that 0.56 g of copper(II) chloride (CuCl2) reacts with 0.64 g of potassium iodide (KI) . So, let's convert those amounts into moles.

Copper(II) chloride has a molar mass of

134.45 g/mol . So in 0.56 g of copper(II) chloride, then there exist

0.56g134.45g/mol≈4.17⋅10−3 mol

Potassium iodide has a molar mass of

166 g/mol . So, in 0.64 g of potassium iodide, there exist

What is the mass number of an atom containing 35 protons and 45 neutrons?

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Weight = 35 P and 45 N = 80

2. Atom: 35P = 35 electrons

3. Bromine

4. It's a non metal. It's in column 17. It will gain 1 electron (normally).

5. Ion: 35 protons, 36 electrons

6. Charge: - 1 usually, but there are exceptions

7. Anions go to the Anode. The anode attracts minus charged elements.

8. In an uncharged state, element 36 would be next. That would be Krypton which is always uncharged. It is a noble gas.
