huh I dont post much either
Oh, I've never been there, and this is my first day here. I just hope I can stay here as long as I can. So don't let me down.
I've been here long enough, and have been away for the past few years. hehehehe
Now, I am back. Maybe a few posts once in a while is good enough for me.
it's been a while for me too...10+years...The Lounge is so quiet...good to be back here....
It's good to see that the long timers still come back here, and do post up as well.

I'm 6 with this account but I did have one before it that goes back too 2003... I lurk a lot too but don't post much just a bit in spurts when I have time.
So whatever happened to those Hofo Meets??? They still happen ?
H-O-F-O
1. You write it out as shown above.
2. Calculate the valence electrons contributed by each atom:
H--> 1 electron
O--> 6 electrons
F--> 7 electrons
O--> 6 electrons
*Add them all up*
1+6+7+6= 20 electrons
3. Start adding the valence electrons to the atoms, make sure you do not violate any rules. Do not add any electrons to hydrogen. Start with adding electrons to the oxygen on the far right.
4. You should end up with H-O-F-O --> Three lone pairs on the oxygen & 1 single bond for a total of 8 electrons, 2 lone pairs on the Fluorine & 2 single bonds, 2 lone pairs on the second Oxygen & 2 single bonds, and finally no lone pairs on the hydrogen and one single bond connecting it to the oxygen, giving a total of 2 electrons.
Extra information:
Chlorine is the only halogen to form an isolable acid of formula HOXO with X is a halogen of oxidation level +3. Even HOClO is not very stable: disproportionating by auto-redox: 2 HClO2 → HClO + HClO3. Chlorites however are stable.
Fluorine resists oxidation above the 1+ level. So HOFO seems NOT to be stable enough to exist in reasonable amounts.
Neither bromous acid nor iodous acid have been isolated. A few salts of bromous acid, bromites, are known, but no iodites.
Just cleared 8 years last month. It's been a great time here. I have met some really cool people, some in real life, and some just through texts or emails. I have bought and sold here. I have learned more than I can even imagine. I have asked questions, and I have answered questions. I even got the chance to help out around here by becoming a moderator. Very happy to be a part of one of the best forums on the web. Cheers!
Meh, who needs friends and family? I got you guys!!! Oh and especially, himself, he is the one I treasure the most. LOL JK, Nope none of my family members are computer savy enough to understand a forum or how to use one blah blah bla the whole story which most of you are familiar with. Friends are my age but don't really care.
i'm still here
