What is the total number of electrons that must be represented by the Lewis structure of a hydrogen cyanide molecule HCN?
8
What is the most important factor in determining an atom will bond?
the oxidation number, determined by its group on the periodic table.
What is the atomic number responsible for determining the type of atom?
The atomic number is responsible for determining the element.
What role does atomic number play in the periodic tabel?
The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom. The number of protons is what determines the element the atom is. This makes the atomic number very important in determining what the atom is.
How can you use the period number and the group number on the periodic table to describe an element's atomic structure?
The period number helps in determining the number of shells in the element. For example, Sodium (Na) is in 3rd period that means there are 3 shells in the atom of an Sodium.
What is the most important factor determining the geometry of a molecule or an ion?
The geometry of the molecule actually determines number of electron pairs on the central atom. The electron pairs will be arranged in such a way to minimize the repulsion and therefore, have the lowest possible energy.
What do chemical formulas tell you the number of?
A chemical formula tells you the number of each type of atom in the molecule or structure.
What is a molecular formula?
The molecular formula specifies the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule.
How can you calculate the number of double bond in an unknown structure?
In general it is impossible without knowing the kind of, and some details structure of, that particular molecule.
What is the most important in determining the periodic trends across a period?
increasing number of electrons
When determining the number of significant digits in ameasurement?
It is important to consider the precision of the measuring equipment.
What is the total number of electrons that must be represented by the Lewis structure of a hydrogen cyanide molecule HCN?
8
What is the most important factor in determining an atom will bond?
the oxidation number, determined by its group on the periodic table.
What is the most important factor determining how an atom will bond?
the oxidation number, determined by its group on the periodic table.
What is the atomic definition?
Atomicity is having atoms. Also the number of atoms in a molecule.
What pair of atoms can form an ionic bond?
The number of what is the most important in determining how an atom will bond
What is the atomic number responsible for determining the type of atom?
The atomic number is responsible for determining the element.
