Which type of model best represents simple molecules?
2 answers:
The correct answer is Lewis dot.
A Lewis dot structure of a molecule is a structure in which the valence electrons of the molecule are represented using dots.
It is usual to seek a simple representation for simple molecules that explains in part, the properties of the molecule.
Such a representation must show the valence electrons in the molecule. A simple representation that can do this is the Lewis dot structure of molecules. The Lewis dot structure of NO2 molecule is shown in the image attached to this answer.
It was introduced by G.N Lewis and can be successfully used to represent many simple chemical molecules.

Hello!
In a chemical reaction, 28g of iron reacts with 16g of sulfur to produce _________ of iron sulfide.
We have the following data:
m(Fe) - mass of iron = 28 g
m(S) - mass of sufur = 16 g
MM(Fe) - molar mass of iron ≈ 56 g/mol
MM(S) - molar mass of sulfur ≈ 32 g/mol
n(Fe) - number of mol of iron = ?
n(S) - number of mol of sulfur = ?
Solving:
* to n(Fe)
* to n(S)
The stoichiometric reaction will be in the same proportion (1 : 1), let us see:
1 mol of Fe -------------- 1 mol of FeS
0.5 mol of Fe ------------ 0.5 mol of FeS
Will the reaction of the iron mass with the mass of sulfur produce how many grams of iron sulfide? We will see:
n(FeS) - number of mol of iron sulfide = 0.5 mol
m(FeS) - mass of iron sulfide = ? (in grams)
MM(FeS) - Molar Mass of iron sulfide = 56 + 32 = 88 g/mol
Solving:
Answer:
44 grams of iron sulfide
