Answer:
The answer is North
Explanation:
The direction of the field is taken to be the direction of the force it would exert on a positive test charge.
Carbon dioxide has a total of 16 valence electrons. 1. To determine the number of valence electrons of carbon dioxide (CO2), first determine the number of valence electrons of each of the elements in the molecule.
a. We have 1 carbon (C) molecule, and 2 oxygen (O) molecules.
b. The carbon molecule has 4 valence electrons and each oxygen molecule has 6 oxygen molecules.
2. Add up the valence electrons of each of the elements
4 + (2 x 6) = 16
(from C) (2 oxygen molecules, with 6 valence electrons each)
Thus, CO2 has a total of 16 valence electrons.
The number of valence electrons can be more clearly seen from the Lewis structure of the CO2 in the figure below (Source: http://chemistry.tutorvista.com/inorganic-chemistry/bonding-electrons.html). The the dots surrounding the letters represent the valence electrons.
Answer:
There was an improvement in accuracy. There was no change in precision.
Explanation:
<em>The average mass after recalibration is closer to the mass of the standard, </em>so the recalibration improved the accuracy<em> </em>(the measurement is closer to an accepted 'true' value).
The standard deviation did not change, so the precision (or how disperse the measurements are) was not affected.
D. More collisions occur and the time required for the reaction decreases
This happens because according to collision theory, when energy (in this case, thermal energy) is applied to particles, they move/vibrate more quickly.
