Evaluate the Lewis structures below and pick the statements that best describes the accuracy of each of the structures. There may be more than one correct answer.

The structures shown by dots and lines to give the exact number of electrons in the outer most shell is explained by Lewis Structures.

Explanation:

Lewis structures are those structures in which the diagram is shown using the electron representation. They are easy to understand as the diagram completely depicts where the electrons are shared and where they are transferred. The diagram also explains where there is a single bond and where there is a di covalent bond or tri covalent bond explaining where the single , double or triple electron pair is shared. The electrons are shown by dots or lines.

For example CCl₄ can be shown as follows

                  ..

               .. Cl..

  ..                               ..

..Cl..C..Cl..

                   ..

                .. Cl..

The picture shows that each chlorine has six electrons in its outer shell and then a pair of electron is shared with carbon forming a single covalent bond.

Similarly methane CH4 can also be shown.

The hydrogen has one electron and it shares an electron from carbon stabilising itself forming methane.

i dont know

explanation:

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
