Use electron dot structures: Determine formula of the ionic compounds formed when aluminum reacts with oxygen?
This casserole is absolutely deliciousSometimes I fix the hashbrowns by themselves as a side dish for supperHashbrown Potato/Sausage Casserole 1 pound Brown Serve link sausages (I prefer maple flavor) 2 poundsfrozen hashbrowns potatoes, thawed 10 oz pkg cheddar cheese, grated 8 ozsourcream 1 can cream of celery 1 tspsalt 1 tsppepper 1/2 stick butter, melted Brown sausage, and set asideMix all other ingredients togetherPut in greased casseroleBake at 350' for 45 minutesRemove from oven, and place sausage on topCook for another 15 minutesYou can also use lil smokies or beef smoked sausage or kielbasa pieces instead of link sausages.
Aluminum combines with oxygen to make a solid compound with the empirical formula Al2O3 In the solid phase it makes a network solid and therefore, there are no discrete molecules in the solid stateSince there are no discrete molecules, there can be no Lewis structureAnd by the way, the compound is not terribly ionicThe Al-O bonds have about 57% ionic characterThe high melting point of alumina is due to the network structure more than the ionic nature of the bond (or lack thereof) Follow up On the off chance you could justify a molecule of Al2O3, it wouldn't have this for a Lewis structure: ? OAlAl?:There would be no double bonds, and the elements would alternateO-Al-O-Al-O In a molecule of Al2O3 there are 24 electronsOxygen atoms will have an octet of electrons and each aluminum atom will have only six electrons around it, violating the octet rule.
I love these types of breakfast casseroles, too! Here is a good one I've made for guests who stayed over for breakfastThe ingredients are pretty easy to keep on hand, and you could add your favorite veggies if you likeCHEESY O'BRIEN EGG SCRAMBLE 1 package (28 ounces) frozen O'Brien hash brown potatoes 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cheddar cheese soup, undiluted 1 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled 12 eggs, lightly beaten 2 tablespoons butter 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese In a large skillet, prepare hash browns according to package directionssprinkle with garlic salt and pepperTransfer to a greased 2-1/2-qtbaking dishTop with soupSet aside 1/2 cup of bacon; sprinkle remaining bacon over soupIn a bowl, whisk the eggsIn another large skillet, heat butter until hotAdd eggs; cook and stir over medium heat until eggs are nearly setSpoon over baconSprinkle with cheese and reserved baconBake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted.
