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-".

If an object is travelling 25.0 meters/second, how far will it travel in 45 minutes?

Misha Larkins [42]

Speed=25m/s
Time=45min=(45×60)s=2700s

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Distance=Speed(Time)$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Distance=25(2700)$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto Distance=67500m$

Why don't solids change shape?

borishaifa [10]

Answer: B) the forces in the solid hold the atoms tightly in place

Explanation:This is because there is no room for the atoms to move around much and because they are very close together which makes the phase a solid.

A ________ reaction occurs when one compound reacts and is broken down into different elements or simpler compounds?

faust18 [17]

Answer: decomposition

Explanation:

1 . Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide ans water along with liberation of large amount of energy.

2. Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which a single reactant gives two or more than two products.

$CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2$

3. Single replacement is a type of chemical reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its slat solution.

4. Synthesis is a type of chemical reaction in which two or more than two reactants combine together to give a single product.

How many liters of H2O gas are produced when

anyanavicka [17]

1 mole C3H8 produces 4 moles H2O. So, first we convert 32 grams of propane to moles and then find moles of H2O. Then convert moles of H2O to grams of H2O
Moles of H2O produced = 32 g C3H8 x 1 mole/44 g x 4 moles H2O/mole C3H8 = 2.909 moles H2O
Grams H2O produced = 2.909 moles H2O x 18 g/mole = 52.36 g = 52 g H2O
