How many lone pairs of electrons are on the central carbon atom in a Lewis Structure of CHI3?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alborosie3 years ago
5 0

There are zero lone pairs of electrons on the central carbon atom in a Lewis Structure of CHI3. The correct option is b.

Explanation:

Lone pair electrons are those valence electrons of an atom which do not take part in bonding or left after the bonds are formed.

CHI_{3}

carbon is the central atom in the compound having 4 valence electrons.

Each iodine molecule has 7 valence electrons.

H has 1 valence electron.

from the Lewis structure of CHI_{3}, it is seen that all four valence electrons of the carbon is involved in bonding with 3 atoms of iodine and 1 atom of hydrogen.

Thus when all valence electrons are involved in bonding no lone pair of electron is found in CHI_{3} that means zero lone pairs of electrons.

The octet of the iodine, carbon and hydrogen gets completed to form the compound.

How many moles of H2O form when 4.5 moles O2 reacts?
mart [117]

Explanation:

Start with a balanced equation.

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Assuming that H2 is in excess, multiply the given moles H2O by the mole ratio between O2 and H2O in the balanced equation so that moles H2O cancel.

5 mol H2O × (1 mol O2/2 mol H2O) = 2.5 mol O2

Answer: 2.5 mol O2 are needed to make 5 mol H2O, assuming H2 is in excess.

The organic compounds that are divided into two types, simple and complex, are called _____.
Sati [7]

The organic compounds that are divided into two types, simple and complex, are called carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are diveded into twy types: simple and complex (starches, fiber, glycogen).

Simple carbohydrates are made of one (monosaccaharides) or two sugar units.

Complex carbohydrates are made up of many sugar units.

For example, glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is a simple carbohydrate.

Glucose is chemical compound composed of six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms.

Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units bonded by glycosidic bond. Starch is a white, tasteless and odorless powder that is insoluble in cold water or alcohol.
