Do you think that a synthetic Diamond should be treated like a natural Diamond? Why or why not?

1 answer:

8 0

No, because a natural diamond is a feat of nature and it is amazing how nature made the intricate structure in a diamond. synthetic diamonds are created in laboratory conditions, so it feels less 'amazing' that the diamond was created because each diamond doesn't feel so unique.

However, the molecular structure of both synthetic and natural diamonds are identical, so it is nearly impossible to tell the difference (if you don't know which is which).

Draw the Lewis structure for the compound with the formula COCl2COCl2. Use lines to show bonding electrons.

stira [4]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of $COCl_2$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $COCl_2$

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, chlorine has '7' valence electron and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $COCl_2$ = 1(4) + 2(7) + 1(6) = 24

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 16 number of non-bonding electrons.

What is a property of most metals?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

(2) They tend to lose electrons easily when bonding is the correct answer.

All metals have either one, two, or three valence electrons. Therefore, they tend to lose these valence electrons in order to have eight valence electrons like noble gases do.

Hope this helps~

___________ have a charge of +1.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

B) Protons

Explanation:

A proton has positive charge of 1.
Electrons are the negatively charged particles of atom.
An atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called electrons
To find the ionic charge of an element you'll need to consult your Periodic Table. On the Periodic Table metals (found on the left of the table) will be positive. Non-metals (found on the right) will be negative.
