Please help me with my work

2

Explanation:

There's 2 Hydrogen and Chlorine molecules on the right side with one Zinc. So the left side needs to have a coefficient of 2 on the hydrochloric acid, or HCl.

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )

a electronegativity decreases beacuse the size of nucleus is bigger.
