Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Any of two THM molecules Lewis structures have to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lone pairs are represented in Lewis structures which represents lines for the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the dots for the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
Lewis structure otherwise known as Lewis dot diagrams (or) electron dot structures shows the bond between atoms and lone pairs of electrons that are present in the molecule. Lewis structure represents each atom and their position in structure using the chemical symbol. Excess electrons forms the lone pair are given by pair of dots, and are located next to the atom.
(b)
Interpretation:
How the THMs differ from CFCs in their chemical composition, the reason needs to be explained.

A. mesosphere B. troposphere C. stratosphere D. thermospherearrow_forward4. Carbon Monoxide is the most common air pollutant. a. How is it formed? b. What are its health impacts?arrow_forward
- 4. Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution in the troposphere of our planet produced when sunlight acts upon motor vehicle exhaust gases to form harmful substances such as ozone (O3). For example, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with atmospheric oxygen (O2) in the presence of light to produce ozone (O3) and nitrogen monoxide (NO).arrow_forwardCFCs are family of compounds containing the elements carbon, fluorine and chlorine. Which of the following statements is NOT true about CFCs? a. Ozone is attacked by chlorine atom that breaks free from the CFC molecule b. CFCs were to be found in aerosol sprays and refrigerants c. CFCs can remain in the atmosphere from up to 100 years d. Each CFC molecule destroys a single ozone moleculearrow_forwardA 120 grams of ethanol, C2H5OH, burns in air producing carbon dioxide and water. a. How many liters of oxygen is needed to completely burn the ethanol? Assume STP. b. How many molecules of carbon dioxide will be produced? c. How many grams of water will be formed?arrow_forward
- Which of the following best explains why holes in the ozone layer appear predominantly over the South Pole?A. Formation of ice crystals in stratospheric clouds during the long winters provide surfaces that convert otherwise safe molecules into those that deplete ozone.B. Because of their polarization, free radical chlorine atoms are attracted to the southern magnetic pole where they more effectively serve as catalysts.C. Chlorofluorocarbons combine with higher concentrations of chlorinated carbon compounds from natural sources that are more prevalent in Antarctica.D. Ozone depletion occurs equally all over the globe, but the ozone layer is naturally thinner over Antarctica.Reset SelectionMark for Review What’s This?arrow_forwardClimate change caused by greenhouse gases affect the environment and human health.
