Explain the importance of valence electrons in chemical bonding.

How many ions that have a +1 charge will bond with an ion that has a -2 charge

If two atoms are bonded to a central atom with no lone pairs, how will they be arranged

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. 2co2 (g) 2co (g) + o2 (g) h° = -514 kj le châtelier's principle predicts that the equilibrium partial pressure of co (g) can be maximized by carrying out the reaction a. at high temperature and high pressure b. at high temperature and low pressure c. at low temperature and low pressure d. at low temperature and high pressure e. in the presence of solid carbon
