(a)
Interpretation:
The formula of calcium sulfite should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Ionic bonds are formed by complete donation and acceptance of electron. Electropositive atoms can give electrons to electronegative atoms to form ionic bonds.
In the periodic table, group 1 and 2 elements are metals which can easily release electron/s to acquire stable electronic configuration. Similarly, group 17 elements are most electronegative in nature they can accept electron to get stable electronic configuration.
The naming of the ions is done in such a way that the name of metal cation will remain same to that of metal while for anion the name of negative charged species ends with suffix ‘ate’. Polyatomic ion contains more than 2 atoms of same or different elements.
(b)
Interpretation:
The formula of calcium hydrogen sulfite should be identified.

- 3-78 Nitrous oxide, N20, laughing gas, is a colorless, nontoxic, tasteless, and odorless gas. It is used as an inhalation anesthetic in dental and other surgeries. Because nitrous oxide is soluble in vegetable oils (fats), it is used commercially as a propellant in whipped toppings Nitrous oxide dissolves in fats. The gas is added under pressure to cans of whipped topping. When the valve is opened, the gas expands, thus expanding (whipping) the topping and forcing it out of the can. (a) How many valence electrons are present in a molecule of N20? (b) Write two equivalent contributing structures for this molecule. The connectivity in nitrous oxide is NNO.
