Answer:

explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Our aim is to draw a structure of XeO2F2 whith the least formal charges. We must remember that the compound has 34 valence electrons.

To obtain the least formal charges then Xe must have a total of twelve electrons on its valence shell instead of eight.

The other atoms around the central Xe atom are arranged as shown in the image attached.

An atom that contains 22 protons,
Westkost [7]

Answer: 45

Explanation:

Recall that mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons. Hence, the mass number of the atom

= 22 + 23

= 45

Furthermore, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons. Hence, since the number of protons is 22. the atom has an atomic number of 22

Thus, An atom that contains 22 protons,

23 neutrons, and 22 electrons would have a mass of approximately 45

In the following reaction, 451.4 g of lead reacts with excess oxygen forming 365.0 g of lead(II) oxide. Calculate the percent yi
user100 [1]
Let MM(x) be the molar mass of x.

MM(Pb) : MM(PbO)
=207.21 : 223.20  =  451.4 g : x g

cross multiply and solve for x
x=223.2/207.21*451.4
= 486.23 g

Percentage yield = 365.0/486.23= 0.75067 = 75.07% (rounded to 4 sign. fig.)
