Write the dissociation of hydrosulfuric acid

Explanation:

Hydrosulfuric acid (H_2S) is considered a 'weak acid." It dissociates in water according to this reaction: H_2 S(aq) + H_2O(t) HS^-(aq) + H_3O^+(aq) k_a = 9 times 10^-8 Hydroiodic acid (HI) is considered a "strong acid".

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: )
