In order for carbon to be stable and have 8 electrons, it must make 4 total covalent bonds.
In prefer for oxygen to be stable and have 8 electrons, it must make 2 covalent bonds.
So, we can deduce that CO2 looks like this:
O=C=O
This molecule has two double bonds.
Pssst...Can I get a brainliest?
That would be correct as stated.
Answer: Hydrogen gas will be given off
Explanation:
Whenever a metal reacts with an acid, a salt of the metal is formed and hydrogen gas is given off.
For instance: The reaction of Zinc metal on Hydrochloric acid.
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) ---> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
From the equation provided, hydrogen gas is given off as a by-product
Energy. Energy cannot be destroyed nor created only transformed into different forms of energy.
