Silicon Dioxide, it has a linear molecular and electronic shape, its structural formula is O=Si=O (w/ 1 pi and 1 sigma bond between each Oxygen and Silicon), and its dot structure is Si with 4 dots (one on each side) and an Oxygen on the Left and Right with 5 dots each. The Oxygen on the left will have 1 dot on the side closest to the Si, 1 on top (to make a pi bond w/ the Si) and 2 on the side farthest away and 2 on bottom. The other O will have 2 on top 1 on the closest side, 2 on the farthest side and 1 on bottom (to make another pi bond) . Sorry if its kinda confusing but that's the best way to describe it.

How many moles of HF will react completely with 12.5 mol of SiO2?

The balanced equation for the reaction between HF and SiO2 is: 6 HF + SiO2 -> H2SiF6 + 2 H2O. Therefore, each mole of SiO2 reacts with 6 moles of HF. So, 12.5 mol of SiO2 will react with 12.5 mol x 6 = 75 mol of HF.


The charge of Silicone in SiO2?

In SiO2, silicon has a charge of +4 while oxygen has a charge of -2. This results in a neutral overall charge for the compound SiO2.
