N2

Br2

SiO2

HCl
@zale101

Answer 1

Have you tried drawing the lewis dot structure for all of these?

Answer 2

I think it is a

Answer 3

Did you draw the lewis dot structure for N2 and got a triple bond. Is that how you got a?

Answer 4

You there? :)

Answer 5

yes I have no Idea how to draw whatever you are talking about

Answer 6

You can't determine any triple bonding from these giving molecules unless you draw the lewis structure for them. Were you taught on drawing lewis structures before?

Answer 7

no

Answer 8

You should read your lessons and start drawing lewis structures. This video should help.

Answer 9

Do you want me to go over lewis structure drawing for you?

This is n2 right

Answer 11

Correct.

Answer 12

so it would be A

Answer 13

You need to know lewis structures. In reality, you won't have access to internet when you are being tested on them.

Answer 14

I take online classes That was from our notes

Answer 15

Did they go over lewis structures?

Answer 16

no not really will you go over them with me

Answer 17

Sure.
Let us draw N2 as an example.

Answer 18

First step:
We know from N2 that there's two atoms of Nitrogen.
Draw two atoms of N, and connect them with a single bond.

Answer 19

Second :
Determine the valence electrons for each atom. However, both atoms are the same so there valence electrons should be the same.

Answer 20

Do you know how to determine an atom's valence electron?

Answer 21

Yes or no?

Answer 22

nitrogen has 5

Answer 23

Correct. How many all together?

Answer 24

10

Answer 25

Correct :)

Answer 26

10 valence electrons all together. However, how many electrons did we use up? We used up a bond and a bond consist of 2 electrons.
