There are none

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

a molecule of calcium sulfide

two valence electron of Calcium(Ca)

six valence electrons of Sulfur(S)

Required

number of lone pairs of electrons

Solution

Lewis structure shows the form of bonds that occur in the valence electrons of an element or compound

Valence electrons are electrons used in a chemical bond

To achieve stability, the element S needs 2 more electrons which are obtained from 2 electrons from the Ca element,

A lone pair electron means refers to an unshared pair of electrons(not bonding to the other atoms)

This condition usually occurs in covalent bonds

As we know, the bond between Ca, which is a group 2 (metal) with Sulfur in group 16, is an ionic bond because it occurs between metal and non-metal ions, so there is no sharing of electrons, but there is a release of electrons from Ca ions to S ions to form an octet. , so all the valence electrons in S are paired

How do the electrons in bonds differ from lone pairs?
Effectus [21]
Electrons present in bond are shared between atoms whereas lone pairs are isolated i.e they are not shared with another atom.

if the maximum temperature for a particular day is 20°c and the minimum temperature is 10°c, the daily mean would be:
storchak [24]

The daily mean, given the data from the question is 15 °C

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Maximum temperature = 20 °C
  • Minimum temperature = 10 °C
  • Mean = ?

<h3>How to determine the daily mean </h3>

Mean = Sumation of data / Number of data

Mean = (20 + 10) / 2

Mean = 30 / 2

Mean = 15 °C
