Answer:
Electrons
Explanation:
According to the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR), the geometry of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs (regions of electron density) on the central atom of the molecule. Electron pairs on the valence shell of the molecule tend to position themselves as far apart in space as possible to minimize repulsion between them. Hence, the orientation of these electron pairs is the ultimate determinant of the observed geometry of a molecule.
Lone pairs of electrons cause more repulsion than bond pairs of electrons on the central atom of a molecule. Hence when the central atom of a molecule contains lone pairs of electrons, the molecular geometry is usually distorted from the expected geometry on the basis of VSEPR theory.
Hence, electrons are the subatomic particles which are responsible for any change in the observed molecular geometry of a molecule.

The Balance Chemical Equation is as follow,
2 HCl + Pb(NO₃)₂ → 2 HNO₃ + PbCl₂
According to equation,
331.2 g (1 mole) Pb(NO₃)₂ produces = 278.1 g (1 mole) PbCl₂
So,
870 g of Pb(NO₃)₂ will produce = X g of PbCl₂
Solving for X,
X = (870 g × 278.1 g) ÷ 331.2 g
X = 730.5 g of PbCl₂
Therefore,
Theoretical Yield = 730.5 g
Also as given,
Actual Yield = 650 g
So using following formula for percentage yield,
%age Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) × 100
Putting values,
%age Yield = (650 g / 730.5 g) × 100
%age Yield = 88.98 %

This question is incomplete but the completed question is below
Which Of These Species Is Most Likely To Be A Lewis Acid And Is Also Least Likely To Be A Brønsted Acid? (A) NH4⁺ (B) BF₃ (C) H₂O (D) OH⁻
The correct option is B
Explanation:
A lewis acid is a substance that accepts (or is capable of accepting) a pair of electrons. For example BF₃, while a lewis base is a substance that donates (or is capable of donating) a pair of electrons. For example OH⁻.
If we take a look at the boron (B) in BF₃, it has 3 electrons on it's outermost shell, each of which are bonded to flourine and can still accept a pair of electrons (lone pair). <u>This makes it very likely to be a lewis acid</u>.
Bronsted lowry acid is a substance that donates or can donate a proton or H⁺ (for example HCl) while bronsted lowry base is a substance that accepts or can accept a proton or H⁺ (for example NH₃).
<u>BF₃ cannot donate a proton or H⁺ hence it is least likely to be called a bronsted acid.</u>
