Concept:
When an atom has incomplete number of electron in its outermost orbit then it has great tendency to react with another atom which satisfies their octate either by sharing or by transferring their electrons. The involved electrons are called valence electrons. These electrons will effect the energy level because of the transition of these electrons from one energy level to another energy level.
In case of electrovalent compound, the valance electron complete their octate by transferring their valence electrons while in the covalent compound, they complete their octate by the sharing of their valence electrons.
Hence, the valence electron of the atom effect the energy levels by the transition from one state to another state in the bond formation.
BaCO3=BaO+CO2
IS THE EQUATION REPLACE = WITH AN ARROW.
The atoms electrical charge would be 0. As the electrical charge is calculated by taking the number of protons and subtracting it by the number of electrons. In this case the result is 0. (3-3).
So 6.02*10^22 is avogadro constant, which is the amount of atoms in one mole. If you look Xenon up in the periodic table you will find it's mass given <span>131,293, which is grams per 1 mole.

Answer: 2 lone pairs, square planar
Explanation:
Using the VSEPR ( Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion)Theory
To calculate the number of lone pairs electron can be done using the formula;
Number of electrons = ½ (V+N-C+A)
V mean valency of the central atom
N means number of monovalent bonding atoms
C means charge on cation
A means charges on anion
Therefore, to calculate the number of lone pair electron C=A=0;
Number of electrons = ½ (8+4) = 12/2 = 6
Number of bonding pair = 4
Number of lone pairs of electron = 6-4 = 2
The hybridrization of the compound is sp3d2 because the number of electrons around the central atom is 6.
The geometry of the compound is square planar and this is because of the repulsion between the bonding pair of electrons and lone pair of electrons which causes the lone pair of electrons to lie in a perpendicular plane in order to acquire stability.
