As a part of an experiment a student burns propane to produce carbon dioxide and water she remembers that she must follow the law conservation of matter when writing a balanced chemical equation which of these equation adheres to the law of conservation of matter

Astudent made the lewis dot diagram of a compound shown. what is the error in the lewis dot diagram? a)an o atom should transfer all of its six electrons to mg because the formula is mgo b) both electrons of mg should be transferred to one o adam because the formula is mgo c) the electrons should be transferred from each o add him to capital mg because mg has fewer electrons d) the number of dots around mg should be four because it has to transfer two electrons to each o

Why is the bond angle in a water molecule less than the bond angle of methane? a. the central oxygen atom in water has two lone pairs of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has no lone pairs. b. the central hydrogen atom in water has one lone pair of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has two lone pairs. c. the central oxygen atom in water has four lone pairs of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has only one lone pair. d. the central oxygen atom exerts more repulsive force on surrounding atoms than the central carbon atom in methane does. reset next
