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.

- 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_forwardCombustion reactions take place between a fuel and oxygen and produce carbon dioxide and water. Balance the following combustion reaction C2H2O + CO2 CO2 + H2Oarrow_forwardWith the advent of techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy, it is now possible to “write” with individual atoms by manipulating and arranging atoms on an atomic surface.(A) If the image is prepared on a platinum surface that is exactly 20 platinum atoms high and 14 platinum atoms wide, what is the mass (grams) of the atomic surface? Show all work. [2](B) If the atomic surface were changed to ruthenium atoms and the same surface mass as determined in part (B) is used, what number of ruthenium atoms is needed to construct the surface? Show all work. [2]arrow_forward
