Two oxygen atoms in a oxygen molecule share two electrons<span>. Oxygen atoms only have 6 </span>valence electrons<span> (</span>electrons<span> in the outer shell). They want 8 </span>electrons<span> so they need to steal two or share two.</span>
Nitrogen has five valence electrons
Answer:
A solution that is 0.10 M HCN and 0.10 M LiCN
Explanation:
- A good buffer system contains a weak acid and its salt or a weak base and its salt.
- In this case; A solution that is 0.10 M HCN and 0.10 M LiCN, would make a good buffer system.
- HCN is a weak acid, while LiCN is a salt of the weak acid, that is, CN- conjugate of the acid.
Answer:
1+2 = 12
Explanation:
this is a math equation, not a chemical formula
Maximum number of covalent bonds that an oxygen atom can make with hydrogen is 2.
- the ground state electronic configuration of oxygen is 2s² 2p⁴ that means it has 6 electrons in its valence shell and require two electrons are required to complete its octate.
- Two bonds are created when an electron donor atom shares the two needed electrons with oxygen. The ability of two oxygen atoms to share valence electrons results in the creation of a double bond between the two atoms.
- There are no longer any empty orbitals in the octet of oxygen after it is complete. As a result, it is unable to accept more electrons or create more bonds.
Therefore, Oxygen can only generate two bonds because it needs two additional electrons to complete its octet, after which it will run out of empty orbitals in which to receive additional electrons and create additional bonds.
