Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The valid pairs of contributing structures has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The outer most shell of the element is called as valence shell. The electrons present in the outer shell are called valence electron.
For example:
Nitrogen element has seven electrons and it has two shells, the second shell is the valence shell and it has five electrons in the valence shell. The five electrons are called as valence electrons.
The number of valence electron of carbon is four, number of valence electron of oxygen is six, number of valence electron of nitrogen is five and the number of valence electron of hydrogen is one.
Resonance: The delocalization of electrons which is characterized as several structural changes.

CH3CH2Br + H20 - CH;CH2OH + HBr (c) Calculate the enthalpy of the reaction (use data from your slides) (d) Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic.arrow_forwardWhat is the definition of the state element?arrow_forwardAutomobile exhaust often contains traces of ethene (C2 H4), which is another possible product of incomplete combustion. Write a balanced equation for the formation of ethene during the combustion of decane. (Water will also be formed as a product.) (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Omit states of matter.) + +arrow_forward

- 6. A 5.276 g sample of Al-Mg alloy is digested in nitric acid (to Al*3 and Mg*?). The solution is diluted to 500.00 mL and three 100.00 mL aliquots are treated with ammonia, the resulting Al(OH)3 precipitate is dried and then ignited to alumina, Al2O; (MM = 101.961 g/mol). If the average mass of alumina obtained was 1.444 g, what was the percentage of aluminum (MM = 26.9815 g/mol) in the original sample?arrow_forward1. Consider the equation:S+302 SO3 (a) Is this equation balanced? Why or why not? (b) If it is not balanced, how can you make it balanced?arrow_forwardFor each of the following chemical reactions, provide the following three items: (1) the chemical formulas of all the reactants and products including physical states—e.g., O₂(?), H₂O(?), Fe(?), NaCl(??), (2) the balanced equation including physical states, and (3) the classification of the reaction as a combination, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, or combustion. Gaseous dicarbon tetrahydride reacts with dioxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Aqueous aluminum nitrate and magnesium metal react to produce aqueous magnesium nitrate and solid aluminum. Solid tetraphosphorus reacts with dichlorine gas to form solid phosphorus pentachloride. Under appropriate conditions, solid calcium chlorate converts into dioxygen gas and solid calcium chloride. Aqueous potassium sulfide and aqueous zinc iodide react to form solid zinc sulfide and aqueous potassium iodide. Dinitrogen gas and copper metal form from heated solid copper(I) nitride.arrow_forward
