Which is the correct Lewis dot structure for BeH2 ?

1 answer:

7 0

H• •Be• •H --> H:Be:H
Since there are 4 valence electrons in total, Beryllium has 2 and Hydrogen has 2. You would put the Be in the middle because there is only 1 of them.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Unbalanced] Mg + N₂ → Mg₃N₂

[RxN - Balanced] 3Mg + N₂ → Mg₃N₂

[Given] 1.22 g Mg

[Solve] grams Mg₃N₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 3 mol Mg → Mg₃N₂

[PT] Molar Mass of Mg - 24.31 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of Mg₃N₂ - 3(24.31) + 2(14.01) = 100.95 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoich</u>

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 1.22 \ g \ Mg(\frac{1 \ mol \ Mg}{24.31 \ g \ Mg})(\frac{1 \ mol \ Mg_3N_2}{3 \ mol \ Mg})(\frac{100.95 \ g \ Mg_3N_2}{1 \ mol\ Mg_3N_2})$
[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 1.68873 \ g \ Mg_3N_2$
