Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

"A formal charge (FC) is the charge assigned to an atom in a molecule, assuming that electrons in all chemical bonds are shared equally between atoms, regardless of relative electronegativity" (chemlibretext).

We can obtain the formal charge from the formula;

Formal Charge = [number of valence electrons on atom] – [non-bonded electrons + 1/2number of bonds].

A structure in which SO2 has a zero formal charge is attached to this answer.

What is the molar volume (of a gas)?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The molecular weight (molar mass) of any gas is the mass of one particle of that gas multiplied by Avogadro's number (6.02 x 1023).

Explanation:

How do you find the molar mass of a gas?

First the ideal gas law will be used to solve for the moles of unknown gas (n). Then the mass of the gas divided by the moles will give the molar mass.

Consider the following molecules with trigonal planar geometry. Carbonate (CO32−) and nitrate (NO3−) both exhibit resonance, whe
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Carbonate and Nitrate: during double resonance the double bond revolves around each oxygen. This creates an atmosphere equal to each O-C-O link, then all 1200.

Phosgene: being that the atmosphere changes for each atom the bond angle should be 120, but a deviation occurs, since oxygen is more electronegative than Cl and O, so it is doubly linked. The Cl-C-O bond increases because the O and Cl repel each other, and a 124.3 bond angle is created between Cl-C-O, decreasing the Cl-C-Cl bond angle to 111.4 degrees.

See the result in the attached graph.

Hope this helps!

Given that a mass of a ball is (36.0 g), and the volume is (8.0 mL), what is the ball's density in g/mL?​
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

4.5g/mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball  = 36g

Volume of the ball  = 8mL

Unknown:

Density of the ball  = ?

Solution:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

          Density  = \frac{mass}{volume}  

So;

 Density  = \frac{36}{8}    = 4.5g/mL
