Explanation:
Carbon dioxide is a polar molecule whose positive center is on the carbon atom: This positive center is able to attract (and accept) the lone electron pairs present on the oxide ion (O2-). carbon dioxide is acts as a Lewis acid
A Lewis acid can accept a pair of electrons from a Lewis base. The boron in BF3 is electron poor and has an empty orbital, so it can accept a pair of electrons, making it a Lewis acid. A Lewis acid is defined as an electron-pair acceptor.
In CO molecule, there is a lone pair on both carbon and oxygen. The substance which can donate an electron pair are called Lewis base. It is clear that CO molecule can donate an electron pair and hence, it is a Lewis base. Also, CO can be BOTH a Lewis acid and base.
Oxygen is a Lewis base (that too a weak one), not a Lewis acid. REASON: It has lone pair of electrons, which can be donated to electron-deficient species (Lewis acids).
Methane is Neither a Lewis Acid or Lewis Base.

Hello your question is poorly written below is the well written question
Uranium, an important component of both nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors, has two major isotopes, U-238, which has a half-life of approximately 4.5 billion years, and U-235, which has a half-life of approximately 700 million years. Both were present in equal amounts at the time of the creation of the Earth, 4.5 billion years ago. How many years after the creation of the Earth had the amount of radiation from uranium decayed to half the amount present at the time of the creation of the Earth
Answer : 140 billion years
Explanation:
Given that :
U-238 h1/2 = 4.5 billion years
U-235 h1/2 = 700 million years
At the beginning both Isotopes where present in equal amount
Determine the T years before the amount of Uranium decays to Half
T = ? N'2 = N1 / 2
we know that N = No ( 1/2 )^h where h = time / half-life time
attached below is the detailed solution of the given problem
Answer:
Check the electronic configuration of elements.
Explanation:
▪Valence electrons are the elwctrons present in the outermost shell of any element.
For example,
Electronic Configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1
Here , Sodium has 1 valence electrons.
▪Valency of an element is the total no. of electrons to be gained/losed in order to achieve duplet/octate state.
For example,
Electronic configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1
Sodium can achieve octate state either by losing 1 electron or gaining 7 electrons. But losing 1 electron is eay than gaining 7 electrons. So Valency of Sodium = +1
☆Metals have 1 or 2 or 3 valence electrons.
☆Non metals have 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 valence electrons.
☆Noble gases tend to stay in duplet/octate state i.e they have 2 or 8 valence electrons.
Answer:
Mass of iron = 59.375 gm
Explanation:
Calories ( or joules) are added to the water by the hot steel so at the endpoint they are BOTH at 40 C
The water gains:
4.18 j/g-C * 50 * (40-30 C) = 2090 j
The steel gave up 2090 j going from 120 to 40 C
2090 = .44 j/g-C * m * (120-40) solve fro m = 59.375 gm
Answer:
When a solution is heated, the solvent evaporates, leaving behind the dissolved solids as residue. When a solution containing dissolved solutes is heated, the solvent will evaporate.
Explanation:
. P.S. Evaporation to dryness cannot be use for solutions like sugar solution because the sugar will decompose upon heating.
