(a)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure for tetrafluoroborate ion BF4- should be written.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structure is known as the simplified depiction of electrons present in valance shell within the molecule. It is also used to display as how electrons are organized around individual atoms within the molecule. “Dots” are used to show the electrons and amid the atoms bonding electrons as line.
(b)
Interpretation:
The Lewis structure for boron trifluoride ethylamine should be written.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structure is known as the simplified depiction of electrons present in valance shell within the molecule. It is also used to display as how electrons are organized around individual atoms within the molecule. “Dots” are used to show the electrons and amid the atoms bonding electrons as line.

- Consider the reaction: CH 4( g) + 2O 2( g) → CO 2( g) + 2H 2O( g) Which of the following statements is correct? Oxygen is the reducing agent. The reaction is not an oxidation-reduction reaction. Oxygen is oxidized. Carbon is oxidized. Carbon is the oxidizing agent.arrow_forwardDraw the Lewis structure for the N H 4 + ion.arrow_forwardAt 400 °C, the ΔG°rxn for the oxidation of a monoatomic liquid element Z in the presence of O2(g) forming ZO(s) is -25.0 kJ per mol O2. In the compound ZO(s), Z has a +2 formal charge. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? ZO cannot be reduced back to Z at any temperature because reduction of ZO to Z has +ΔG. Z cannot be oxidized to ZO because Z is more stable than 20 at 400 °C or any T above it The oxidation of Z with O2 is exothermic. The oxidation of Z with O2 is marked by an increase in entropy.arrow_forward
