Sulfur is element 16. how many dots would you have to show in the electron dot diagram for sulfur?

a. two
c. eight
b. six
d. sixteen

Answer :  The correct option is, (b) six

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure or electron dot diagram : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The representation of valence electrons of an atom by dots around the symbol of an element is said to be the electron dot symbol.

The given molecule is, sulfur (S).

As we know that the atomic number of sulfur is 16 that means sulfur has '6' valence electrons. Thus, 6 dots are shown in the electron dot diagram.

The Lewis structure of sulfur (S) is shown below.

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.
