Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 17E
A solid white substance A is heated strongly in the absence of air It decomposes to form a new white substance B and a gas C The gas has exactly the same properties as the product obtained when carbon is burned in an excess of oxygen Based on these observations, can vie determine whether solids A and B and gas C are elements or compounds?

Explain why only the lone pairs on the central atom are taken into consideration when predicting molecular shape
(ME EX1) Prblm #9/10
Can you explain in detail (step by step) I'm so confused with these problems. For turmber 13 can u turn them into lewis dot structures so I can better understand because, and then as well explain the resonance structure part. Thanks for the help.
