Answer : The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.
Explanation :
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.
In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.
The given molecule is, 
As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electron.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 4 + 3(1) + 1 = 8
According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.
Now we have to determine the formal charge on carbon atom.
Formula for formal charge :
The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.
Answer: The correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Explanation:
Hello! Let's solve this!
We will analyze each of the options:
A. The group number of the element provides a clue to the number of valence electrons: it is correct, since it provides the number of valence electrons.
B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable: this is not correct, since elements with eight electrons in the valence shell cannot react because they already have the last complete shell. Therefore, they are chemically stable.
C. The points must be placed one at a time on each side of the chemical symbol: it is correct, because that is the way to make the point diagram.
D. An atom is chemically stable if all the points are paired: this is correct since this verifies that the point diagram has been done well.
We conclude that the correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Hope this helps..... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D
No is the answer your welcome well I don’t.
Answer:
NO2- is the reducing agent.
Cr2O7_2- is the oxidizing agent.
H+ is neither
Explanation:
Reduction is the gain in electron. A chemical specie that undergoes reduction is called the oxidizing agent.
Oxidation is simply the loss in electrons. A chemical specie that undergoes oxidation is called the reducing agent.
Let us look at the species.
The first specie is the NO2-. In this specie, the oxidation number of nitrogen changed from +3 to +5 in NO3-. Thus we can see that there is more loss of electron to have caused an increase in the oxidation number positively. This shows an oxidation. Hence, NO2- is the reducing agent.
Let us look at the chromium. We can see that the oxidation number of chromium changed from +7 to +3.
Now we can see that it is a decrease and hence, it is a gain of electron and thus it is reduction. This means the first chromium specie is the oxidizing agent.
The hydrogen ion is simply placed there to balance the ions and hence it is neither the oxidizing nor the reducing agent.
Answer:
A chemical change occurs when the reactants chemical compositions have changed
Explanation:
a change in colour, change in temperature, change in smell, formation of a precipitate, or the formation of gas bubbles
