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

For this discussion, respond to the following... An electron falls through a distance d in a uniform electric field of magnitude
mars1129 [50]

The electron should experience a greater acceleration due to it's significantly smaller mass and should fall through distance "d" in a shorter amount of time.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The electron force can be expressed as F=qE. According to Newton's second law of motion force can be expressed as F=ma. This can be written as a=F/m. Substituting electric force expression for "F" in this equation, we get a=qE/m. This means acceleration is conversely proportional to mass and directly to electric field and charge. This means that proton having significantly larger mass than electron should experience smaller amount of acceleration and would take longer to fall at distance "d".

On the other hand, the electron would experience greater acceleration due to it's significantly smaller mass and would fall faster at distance "d", unlike the situation of proton.

Which term refers to a universal fact sometimes based on mathematical equations?
torisob [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is a scientific law.

Explanation:

The laws of science or scientific laws refer to the statements, which predict or illustrate an array of natural processes. It is a statement based on observations or spontaneous experiments, which illustrate some characteristics of the natural world.  

The term law exhibits different uses in various circumstances, that is, across all the branches of natural science. The laws are formulated through data and can be further created via mathematics, in all the conditions, they are indirectly or directly based on empirical evidence. The scientific laws recapitulate the outcomes of observations or experiments, generally within some point of application.
