The Lewis structure of P₄ is shown in 3-D form. The two bottom corner P atoms are facing right in front of us, one P atom behind the two, and one P above it. Each line represents 2 electrons. When you add the lone electrons, you get a total of 20 valence electrons.

Formal charge of each P:  5 - (2 +1/2*6) = 0

What is an example of kinetic energy at work,1 a ball lodge in the tree, 1 a frisbee flaying in the air, 3 a car in the garage
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

a frisbee flaying in the air

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

Where;

  • K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.
  • M represents mass measured in kilograms.
  • V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Hence, an example of kinetic energy at work is a frisbee flaying in the air because it would possess energy due to its motion in the air.

A hydrocarbon is a compound that contains mostly carbon and hydrogen. Calculate the percent composition (by mass) of the followi
Katena32 [7]
C7H16, where C=12.01, and H=1.01, so the weight of the molecule would be 7(12.01)+16(1.01), or 100.23. The percentage of carbon would be found by ((7*12.01)/100.23)*100=83.88% Carbon
((16*1.01)/100.23)*100=16.12% Hydrogen

What is a good indicator for titrating potassium hydroxide with hydrobromic acid?
Cerrena [4.2K]
Potassium hydroxide is a strong base and hydrobromic acid is a strong acid. This implies that the pH of the end-point [neutralization] of their titration will be around pH 7. A good indicator for this kind of pH is bromthymol blue. This is because this indicator changes its colour at pH 7.
