Answer:

both bonding electrons come from the oxygen atom

Explanation:

A coordinate covalent bond is said to be formed when an electron pair is donated into a empty orbital of an atom from a filled orbital of another atom.

In this type of covalent bond, the shared electron pair is furnished by only one of the bonding species.

The bonding between H^+ and H2O to form H3O^+ involves donation of a lone pair of electrons on oxygen into the empty 1s orbital of  H^+ hence the two bonding electrons come from oxygen. This is why the bond is called a coordinate covalent bond.

Tai ran from his home to a position 300 m south of his home in 100 seconds. What was his velocity?
77julia77 [94]
Well, if you are moving forward in a direction, then your velocity is your speed with the direction you are moving in. To calculate velocity, you divide your distance traveled by the time it took to travel that distance and you add your direction to it.
So to conclude, 300/100= 3 m/s South

A balloon containing helium gas expands from 230
andre [41]

Answer:

1.0 *10^(-4) mol

Explanation:

For gases:

n1/n2 = V1/V2

n1/3.8*10^(-4) mol = 230 mL/ 860 mL

n1 = 3.8*10^(-4)*230/860 = 1.0 *10^(-4) mol
