How many covalent bonds will be drawn to phosphorous in PO43– for the dot structure that expands the octet to minimize formal ch

arge and if necessary places negative formal charges on the most electronegative atom(s).
Chemistry

Helga [31]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

5 (five)

Explanation:

In PO^{3-} _{4}, the number of valence electrons of phosphorus is five while that of each of the oxygen atom is six. The oxygen atoms form three single bonds and a single double bond with the phosphorus. Therefore, the number of covelent bonds around the compound in order to ensure that the dot structure can expand the octet to reduce the formal charge is 5 (five).

When an athlete gets hurt they apply sometimes an instant cold pack to the injury. The instant cold pack works by mixing two che
NeX [460]

Answer:

The evidence showing that there is a chemical reaction taking place is the instantaneous temperature drop once the cold pack is shaken.

Explanation:

When an athlete applies a cold pack to the injury, they shake it before, mixing the water and <em>ammonium-nitrate fertilizer</em> inside the cold pack. This mixing is an endothermic reaction, which means it absorbs heat. In turn, the temperature falls to 35 F for around 10 minutes.

You try to measure out exactly 5.0 milliliters of water by eye into each of five test tubes. When you go back to check the volum
jeka94

Answer:

The volumes are both, accurate and precise.

Explanation:

In the measurement of a set, precision refers to how much coincidence exists in the measurements of an specific value, as the measurements are close, we can say the volumes are precise.

Accuracy means the agreement that exists between the average of one

large series of measurements and the value of  measurement

Media is 4,96 ml and I wanted to measure 5 ml. It is also close.

The Lewis structure for CO2 has a central The Lewis structure for C O 2 has a central blank atom attached to blank atoms.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

1) The Lewis structure for  CO_2 has a central Carbon<em> </em>atom attached to Oxygen atoms.

In the CO_2  we will have a structure:  O=C=O the <u>central atom</u> "carbon" we will have <u>2 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds</u>, therefore, we have an <u>Sp hybridization</u>. For O we have <u>1 pi and 1 sigma bond</u>, therefore, we have an <u>Sp2 hybridization</u>.

2) These atoms are held together by <u>double bonds.</u>

<u></u>

Again in the structure of CO_2: O=C=O we only have double bonds.

3. Carbon dioxide has a Carbon dioxide has a <u>Linear</u> electron geometry.

Due to the double bonds we have to have a linear structure because in this geometry the atoms will be further apart from each other.

4. The carbon atom is <u>Sp</u> hybridized.

We will have for carbon 2 pi bonds, so we will have an <u>Sp</u> hybridization.

5. Carbon dioxide has two Carbon dioxide has two C(p) - O(p) π bonds and two C(sp) - O(Sp2) σ bonds.

(See figures)
