PLEASE HELP ME! Draw the Lewis structure for each of the following compounds. Which compound contains two double bonds?
HCN NH3 O3 CO2
|dw:1337099572346:dw| So, Carbon needs four bonds. I gave it three with Mr. Nitrogen, which satisfied Mr. N, and one with Mr. Hydrogen. which satisfied him as well. And the one lone pair with Mr. N ofcourse. Can you try for the others?
@warz helps if you could explain him as well, rather than just post the solutions :)
CO2??
I am a her. hahah
When the following reaction is balanced with the lowest possible whole number coefficients, what is the coefficient in front of oxygen (O2)? C2H6 + O2 “yields”/ CO2 + H2O
Oh lol, sorry, "her" then. balance the equation. balance the no. of atoms of each element in the reactant and product side.
3? for question two
hahahaha yeah well its mostly based on valency CO2 carbon is in group 4 A \and needs 4 more electorns to complete its octect so it must form four bonds oxygen has valency 2 as it need 2 e ok so making co2 they are all trying to get eight e carbon frms two covalent bonds with two o2 ok get the concept
Oops, looks like warz explained the structure of CO2/ anyways, geek, post what you got in your balancing.
i think its 7
2 c2h6+7O2=4 co2+6H2O
