Draw a Lewis structure for SO2 in which all atoms have a formal charge of zero. Explicitly showing the zero charges is optional.
1 answer:
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.

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.

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 =
So;
Density = = 4.5g/mL
