Lewis structures are diagrams that represent the
It is also known as Lewis dot structures which represent the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
Dots represent the electron position around the atoms and lines or dot pairs represent covalent bonds between atoms.
The Lewis structure is based on the concept of the octet rule so that the electrons shared in each atom should have 8 electrons in its outer shell.

- The tropospheric processes discussed in this chapter cannot be considered as independent reactions. Discuss the relationship between the production of nitrogen oxide species and the formation of ‘acid rain’ and the role played by carbon monoxide, methane, and the hydroxyl radical.arrow_forwardMuch of the U.S. electricity is generated in thermal generating stations that burn fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas. The use of solar-powered generating stations is expected to increase over the next decade and replace older fossil-fuel generating stations. What impact might this change have on greenhouse gas emissions?arrow_forwardAs a concerned individual, this calls for an act to mitigate the problem on ocean acidification caused by anthropogenic emissions of CO2. In consideration to this perennial challenge, we are left to answer a very important question: What can we do to help solve this problem?arrow_forward

Le for Virtual Virginia (2021) Using this heating curve, complete the following statements: 1) The substance's melting or freezing point can be found between points [ Select] and [Select] (Select the points alphabetically; for example, "X and Y" not "Y and X") 2) Between points ( Select) and [ Select] the substance is in the liquid phase. (Select the points alphabetically; for example, "X and Y" not "Y and X") 3) At 50°C, the substance is a ( Select] Temp.

Give the chemical formula of atmospheric ozone. Explain the extent of the ozone holes, and the complications that have arisen from them.arrow_forwardOzone is most depleted in Antarctica although very few people live there. Scientists believe that this is observed because: a) there are many coal powered plants there b) the cold climate favors the formation of atmospheric ice crystals which catalyze ozone decomposition c) The abundance of polar bears compensates for the low human population d) the Russians are conducting secret research there which emits gases which destroy ozonearrow_forward
- How does the ground temperature in sunlight with CO2 compare with ground temperature in sunlight without CO2?arrow_forwardWhy is stratospheric ozone beneficial to life on Earth, whereas tropospheric (ground-level) ozone is not?arrow_forwardwhat should be done to mitigate the impacts of ocean acidification on the Great Barrier Reefarrow_forward
- A chemist, during the course of an analysis, runs across a chemical composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the proportion 1:2:1 and having a six-sided molecular shape. It is probably (a) a pentose, (b) an amino acid, (c) a fatty acid, (d) a monosaccharide, (e) a nucleic acid.arrow_forwardAside from methane, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrous oxide, give two more examples of greenhouse gases. Describe the mechanics and illustrate how they impact on the atmosphere.arrow_forwardA nonmetal element in the third row of the periodic table exists as two allotropes (two different physical forms of the same element). One allotrope exists as an extended network while the other exists as discrete molecules. In the lab, you gather the following evidence about two allotropes of this element: Physical Form of Element Allotrope 1 Allotrope 2 4 0 3 Which allotrope do you predict likely exists as an extended network and why? 1. Allotrope 1 because strong covalent bonds within the molecule require a lot of energy to break when melting a substance from a solid to a liquid. 2. Allotrope 2 because small molecules require less energy due to the weaker interactions to overcome compared to breaking strong covalent bonds when an extended network melts (essentially disintegrating). 3. Allotrope 2 because its lower melting point suggests that it makes a good liquid. 4. Allotrope 1 because it definitely conducts electricity based on the melting data. 5. The data is wrong as all…arrow_forward
