(a)
Interpretation:
The number of protons and electrons in the anion of the carbon atom having net charge
Concept introduction:
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is called its
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of protons and electrons in a cation of the oxygen atom having net charge
Concept introduction:
The total number of protons in the atom’s nucleus is its atomic number. In a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons is equal. Ions are formed by the loss or gain of electrons from the neutral atom. If an atom gains one or more electrons, the ion formed is called an anion. The charge on the anion is equal to the number of electrons gained. If an atom loses one or more electrons, the ion formed is called a cation. The charge on the cation is equal to the number of electrons lost.
(c)
Interpretation:
The number of protons and electrons in the anion of an oxygen atom having net charge -1 is to be determined.

The total number of protons in the atom’s nucleus is its atomic number. In a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons is equal. Ions are formed by the loss or gain of electrons from the neutral atom. If an atom gains one or more electrons, the ion formed is called an anion.

- Solve correctly please, need all 4 subparts ans.arrow_forwardSolve correctly please, all subparts needarrow_forwardSee attached picture. Question.) Below is the NMR spectra and molecular formula for a molecule. Draw the complete structure in the box to the right below. All the atoms in each molecule are closed shell (octets) and uncharged. Lack of IR data does not mean that a specific functional group is not present in the molecule.arrow_forward
- I’m not sure which formula to select. Since there is a credible bond stretch should I use the formula for alkyne?arrow_forwardPlease answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. Write the resonance structure that would result from pushing the electrons as indicated by the curved arrow.Zarrow_forwardWhich obeys o text rulearrow_forward
- For problem 3, why does N keep its electrons in addition to taking the H+ from the other molecule? Didn't it give its electrons to the other molecule?arrow_forwardI get confused with these, so thank you very much!arrow_forwardSee attached picture Question.) Below are the NMR spectra and molecular formulas of three molecules. Draw the complete structure in the boxes below. All the atoms in each molecule are closed shell (octets) and uncharged. Lack of IR data does not mean that a specific functional group is not present in the molecule.arrow_forward
