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

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.

Explanation:

Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. This gives the plant cell its unique rectangular shape. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.

Which option is an example of a chemical property?
Alona [7]
Answer:
The ability to decompose
Explanation:
A property is a chemical property when it changes the chemical structure of a substance after a reaction.
Density and color are both physical properties.
Even though melting point may seem like a chemical property, when something melts, only the physical state changes, and the chemical structure does not change, and therefore, is a physical property.
The ability to decompose is a chemical property. When something decomposes, the chemical structure of many molecules change, and therefore, is classified as a chemical property.

Answer:

Q1. C

Q2 and Q3 are correct.

Explanation:

Since F=ma, and the force is a constant,

for the greatest acceleration, the mass of the ball must be the least.

Thus ball C has the greatest acceleration.

Let's check:

A) F=ma

a=F/m

a= F/68

B) a=F/72

C) a= F/64 (✓)

The smaller the denominator, the larger the value of a.

(Think: 1/2 >1/3)
