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.

Describe the general chemical formula of carbohydrates holt

REY [17]

Monosaccharides are the simplest unit of carbohydrates. They're composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, and they cannot be broken down further since they are already in their simplest form. Their general formula is (CH2O)n, where n is any number equal or greater than 3.

algol [13]

Alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen. When these compounds undergo complete combustion, the products are carbon dioxide and water. Otherwise, when incomplete combustion occurs, carbon dioxide, water, and carbon monoxide are produced. Note that carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that is harmful to people's health.

Dinosaurs

Living fossils

Old souls

Ancient moderns

Answer: b. Living fossil

Explanation:

In 1859 Charles Darwin proposed the term living fossil, that means a species or group of species that had not changed in terms of evolutionary context thus can be useful in tracing the extinct or previously existing forms of life. The examples of the living fossils are horseshoe crabs, ginkgo (Conifers) and tuatara. These group of animals were existed unchanged in the Ordovician, Permian, and Triassic periods respectively with few surviving species.
