Consider the resonance structures for the carbonate ion. carbonate is a carbon double bonded to an oxygen with two lone pairs and single bonded to two oxygens, each with three lone pairs and a negative charge. the three resonance structures are all equivalent. how much negative charge is on each oxygen of the carbonate ion? 0 −1.33 −0.33 −0.67 −0.50 −2.00 −1.00 −1.67 −1.50 what is the bond order of each carbon‑oxygen bond in the carbonate ion?

plasma is the state of matter where the substance is ionized and has no definite shape or volume. the fact of being ionized makes the substance a good electrical conductor.

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.

in the analysis of systems that involve fluid flow, we frequently encounter the combination of properties u and pv.
