B) is a factual statement
Laws are based on observations and experiments and have been tested many, many times to show no error
For multiple covalent bonds to form in molecules, the molecules must contain carbon nitrogen or oxygen.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Think about carbon dioxide (CO2). If every oxygen atom imparts one electron to the carbon molecule, there will be 6 electrons in carbon particle and 7 electrons in every oxygen atom. This doesn't give the carbon atom as a total octet.
- Sometimes more than one set of electrons is shared between two atoms. In carbon dioxide, a second electron from every oxygen atom is likewise imparted with the central carbon atom, and the carbon particle imparts one more electron with every oxygen atom.
- Two sets of electrons shared between two atoms make a double bond between the atoms. A few particles contain triple bonds, covalent bonds in which three sets of electrons are shared by two atoms.
Why can't elements be separated into smaller parts using chemical means? Too much energy is required, since you'd have to break them down into protons, neutrons, and electrons. You can get this much energy together with nuclear reactions, but not by chemical means.
There are 8.61 × 10²⁰ atoms in 0.290 g P₂O₅.
Step 1. Convert <em>grams of P₂O₅ to moles of P₂O₅</em>.
Step 2. Convert <em>moles of P₂O₅ to molecules of P₂O₅</em>.
Step 3. Convert <em>molecules of P₂O₅ to atoms</em>.
There are seven atoms in 1 mol P₂O₅.
