Question
Write the electron dot structure for the sulfate anion, [SO4]2-
a. What is the total number of available valence electrons?______
Remember that sulfate has a -2 charge, so two extra valence electrons must be added to the total.
b. In the space below, arrange the atomic symbol appropriately, then add bonding electron pairs. Distribute
non-bonding electron pairs. Don’t forget to indicate the charge on the finished structure.
Expert Solution

Step 1
a) the total number of available valence electrons in the SO42- is 32.
In this structure, one S atom contribute 6 valence electrons, four Oxygen atoms contribute 24 electrons and -2 charge on ion also contributed , hence total valence electrons on sulphate ion are 32.

- Element "A" has 4 valence electrons and element "B" has 6 valence electrons. When "A" and "B" combine, they form AB2. "A" has an electronegativity value of 2.9 and "B" has an electronegativity value of 3.5. Both "A" and "B" follow the octet rule. Based on this information, which of the following is true.

The bond will be ionic because carbon is a nonmetal and oxygen is a nonmetal. The formula will be CO2 because the charge on carbon is +4 and the charge on oxygen is -4. The bond will be covalent because carbon is a metal and oxygen is a nonmetal. The formula will be C20 because the charge on carbon is +4 and the charge on oxygen is -2. The bond will be covalent because both carbon and oxygen are nonmetals. The formula will be CO, because the electrons between the atoms are being shared equally. The bond will be ionic because both carbon and oxygen are nonmetals. The formula will be CO, because the electrons between the atoms are being shared unequally. 58°F Cleararrow_forward
