Concept introduction:
Lewis structures are diagrams that represent the
It is also known as Lewis dot structures which represent the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
Dots represent the electron position around the atoms and lines or dot pairs represent covalent bonds between atoms.
The Lewis structure is based on the concept of the octet rule so that the electrons shared in each atom should have 8 electrons in its outer shell.

- Which of these could be sources of chemical compounds that could be used by life in Europa's ocean, if such life exists? Check the TWO choices that best apply. a The creation of organic molecules when ultraviolet light from the Sun gets through the ice. b The bombardment of the surface ice by Jupiter's intense radiation c The eruption of organic chemicals from volcanoes in the icy shell. d The cycling of ocean water through minerals in the seafloor.arrow_forwardWrite a comment on this article Arsenic is a global metal.Enviromental pollution by arsenic occurs by natural issues such as volcanic eruption,soil erosion and anthropogenic activites such as mining, release of industrial waste(burning of fossil fuel. Regarding Industrial production this includes insecticides,herbicides ,fungicides etc.Inaddition it's used in veterinary medince to name a few, ridding tapeworm in sheep & cattle.People that live within countries of large populations in West Bengal, Bangladesh, Thailand, Inner Mongolia, Taiwan, China, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Finland and Hungary are more exposed to high levels of arsenic in their drinking water. Potential exposure to arsenic can occur through ingesting,inhaling and contact through skin. Workers in agriculture can be exposed. Toxicity of Arsenic depends on exposure doses,frequencies and duration. A particular mechanisms is the impairment of cellular respiration.arrow_forwardAside from methane, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrous oxide, give two more examples of greenhouse gases. Describe the mechanics and illustrate how they impact on the atmosphere.arrow_forward
- As a concerned individual, this calls for an act to mitigate the problem on ocean acidification caused by anthropogenic emissions of CO2. In consideration to this perennial challenge, we are left to answer a very important question: What can we do to help solve this problem?arrow_forwardWrite the Lewis structures and give the electron-region geometry, molecular geometry, and bond angles, and the hybridization of the central atom of these polyatomic ions and molecules. (a) BrF2+ (b) OCCl2 (c) CH3+ (d) SeCS (e) CH3arrow_forwardChemistry Mitigation measures to address climate change is a focus of many research groups. Explain why transition metal complexes are attractive materials for use as photocatalysts, as we devise new approaches to generate hydrogen or to convert CO2 into a useful product. Give examples of transition metal catalysts that can be used for both renewable hydrogen and CO2 conversion.arrow_forward
- A proposed two-step mechanism for the destruction of ozone in the upper atmosphere is a. What is the overall balanced equation for the ozone destruction reaction? b. Which species is a catalyst? c. Which species is an intermediate? d. What is the rate law derived from this mechanism if the first step in the mechanism is slow and the second step is fast? e. One of the concerns about the use of Freons is that they will migrate to the upper atmosphere, where chlorine atoms can be generated by the reaction Chlorine atoms also can act as a catalyst for the destruction of ozone. The first step of a proposed mechanism for chlorine-catalyzed ozone destruction is Cl (g) + O3 (g) → ClO (g) + O2 (g) Slow Assuming a two-step mechanism, propose the second step in the mechanism and give the overall balanced equation.arrow_forward11.7. What is a greenhouse gas? Give the chemical formulas of two compounds that function as greenhouse gasesarrow_forwardHow does the ground temperature in sunlight with CO2 compare with ground temperature in sunlight without CO2?arrow_forward
- Describe the origins and behavior of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides as air pollutants, including the generation of acid rain and photochemical smog?arrow_forwardwhat should be done to mitigate the impacts of ocean acidification on the Great Barrier Reefarrow_forwardDoes it seem logical that the burning of fossil fuels and the addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere leads to the warming of the Earth? Why or why not?arrow_forward
