What is the result of adding 2.5 x 10^3 and 3.5 x 10^2
a)2.9 x 10^3
b)6.0 10^3
c)2.9 x 10^2
d)6.0 x 10^5

A

Explanation:

Although rounding is needed, this answer makes the most sense.

If the question is (2.5 x 10^3) + (3.5 x 10^2):

= (2.5 x 1000) + (3.5 x 100)

=(2500) + (350)

= 2850.

Taking out the 10^3 with scientific notation leaves us with 2.85 x 10^3. Because this isn't an answer choice, A is the closest.

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
