Which of the following statements is false about drawing Lewis structures?

Chemistry
1 answer:
zhannawk [14.2K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

c. N, P, and As can sometimes share more than 8 e-

Explanation:

Lewis structures are diagrams that show the valence electrons of atoms within a molecule. Valence electrons play a major role while drawing Lewis structures as only valence electrons can be shared with another molecule to form a bond.

N, P, and As can not share more than 8 e- because they have less valence electrons in their outer shell. N has only one valence electron, P and As has only 5 valence electrons so they can not share more than their valence electrons.

Hence, the correct answer is "c. N, P, and As can sometimes share more than 8 e-".

Why is galvanized steel preferred for outdoor uses?
Marizza181 [45]
<span>Galvanized steel is preferred for outdoor uses because it is ideal to prevent rotting/corrosion A steel will rot more quickly if it's exposed to a larger amount of oxygen and H2O , which will exist if we put it oudoor Coating the steel with additional zinc will slow down the process</span>

Which of the following BEST explains why the tectonic plates of Earth move?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The plates can be thought of like pieces of a cracked shell that rest on the hot, molten rock of Earth’s mantle and fit snugly against one another. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet’s interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other.

How many grams of Br are in 335g of CaBr2
ASHA 777 [7]
The answer is 267.93 g

Molar mass of CaBr2 is the sum of atomic masses of Ca and Br:
Mr(CaBr2) = Ar(Ca) + 2Ar(Br)
Ar(Ca) = 40 g/mol
Ar(Br) = 79.9 g/mol
Mr(CaBr2) = 40 + 2 * 79.9 = 199.8 g/mol

The percentage of Br in CaBr2 is:
2Ar(Br) / Mr(CaBr2) * 100 = 2 * 79.9 / 199.8 * 100 = 79.98%

Now make a proportion:
x g in 79.98%
335 g in 100%
x : 79.98% = 335 g : 100%
x = 79.98% * 335 g : 100%
x = 267.93 g

_____ bonds are formed when the electronegativity difference is 0.4 &gt; 2.0. Give two examples:
34kurt

<u>Ionic Bond</u> is formed when the electronegativity difference is 0.4 > 2.0. Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.

An  electronegativity of an atom is affected by

  • The atomic number of the atom
  • Secondly by the distance at which the valence electron are residing from the nucleus

1. In case the  electronegativity difference (which is denoted by  ΔEN) is less than 0.5  then the bond formed is known as N<u>onpolar covalent. </u>

2. In case  the ΔEN is in between 0.5 and 1.6, the bond formed is referred to as the<u> Polar covalent </u>

3. In case  the ΔEN is more /greater  than 2.0, then the bond formed is referred to as<u> Ionic Bond</u>

<u>2 Examples of Ionic bonds</u>

  • The formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom is an example of Ionic bond formation.
  • Another example is the formation of NaCl from  sodium (Na),which is  a metal, and chloride (Cl), which is a  nonmetal
