Diagram A shows the Lewis structure (LS) of CH_2O. The formal charge on each atom is zero.
To get the formal charge (FC) on the atoms, cut each bond in half, as in <em>Diagram B</em>. Each atom gets the electrons on its side of the cut.
Formal charge = valence electrons in isolated atom - electrons on bonded atom
FC = VE - BE
<em>On O:
</em>
VE = 6
BE = 2 lone pairs 2 + 2 bonding electrons = 4 + 2 = 6
FC = 6 – 6 = 0.
<em>On H:
</em>
VE = 1
BE = 1 bonding electron
FC = 1 – 1 = 0
<em>On C:
</em>
VE = 4
BE = 1 in each single bond + 2 in the double bond = 2 + 2 = 4
FC = 4 - 4 = 0
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
A molecular compound is that one which is composed of molecules formed by atoms of two or different elements. A pentacosane is an alkaline made of unbranched chain of 25 carbons atoms. It has applications in plant metabolite. The molecular formula of pentacosane is C₂₅H₅₂
Answer:
The proportion of dissolved substances in seawater is usually expressed in ppm, ppb or ppt
Explanation:
The concentration of very diluted solutions should be expressed in parts per million, billion or trillion.
ppm = mass from the solute . 10⁶ / mass or volume of the solution
ppb = mass from the solute . 10⁹ / mass or volume of the solution
ppt = mass from the solute . 10¹² / mass or volume of the solution
ppm = mg/kg, μg/g, μg/mL → These are the units
ppb = ng/g
ppt = pg/g
Answer:
The main difference is their energy level, 2s orbital is higher than 1s orbital.
