Predict the shape of the molecule.

Chemistry
1 answer:
balandron [24]1 year ago
7 0

Answer:

B.) trigonal bipyramidal

Explanation:

A.) is incorrect. In octahedral molecules, the central atom is bonded to six other atoms.

B.) is correct. In trigonal bipyramidal structures, the central atom is bonded to five other atoms.

C.) is incorrect. In tetrahedral molecules, the central atom is bonded to four other atoms.

D.) is incorrect. There is not such thing as a pyramidal molecular shape. This term is most likely referring to the shape, trigonal pyramidal. However, this is still incorrect. In trigonal pyramidal molecules, the central atom is bonded to three other atoms and a lone pair of electrons.

What mass of f2 is needed to produce 120. g of pf3 if the reaction has a 78.1% yield?
lesya692 [45]

write the equation for the reaction

that is 6 F2 +P4 =4 PF3

find the theoretical mass that is

let the theoretical yield be represented by y

theoretical yield = 78.1/100 = 120/y

y= 153.6 grams

find the number of moles of  PF3

moles = mass/molar mass

= 153.6/87.97 =1.746 moles

by use of mole ratio between  F2 :PF3 which is 6:4 the moles of F2 is therefore= 1.746 x 6/4 = 2.62 moles

mass = moles x molar mass

= 1.746 moles x38 g/mol = 99.6 grams

Ionic compounds involve a (share, tranfer) of electrons and typically involve atoms that have (Large, similar, very different) e
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

2 Transfer; very different

Explanation:

Ionic compound are compound that are formed from transfer of electron. The cations donate the electron(s) while the anion receive the electron(s). The compound possess a positively charged end and a negatively charge end. Example of ionic compound is NaCl . The sodium donates one electron to the chlorine  to fulfill the octet rule. The sodium atom becomes positively charged  as it donate electron to the chlorine atom. The chlorine atom becomes negatively charged as it receive electron from Sodium atom.

The atoms that are involve in forming ionic compound have very different electronegativity . Electronegativity  is the measure of the ability of an atom to attract a bond pair of electron. For example the NaCl compound, the two atom has verse differences in the electronegativity. Cl atom is far more electronegative than Sodium atom.

Why is 6-decene not possible?
faltersainse [42]

Well because the lowest possibility of having a decen is 3-decene so 6-decene is not possible. Hope this helps!! :)

What is the poH of a<br> 4.8 x 10-10 M H+ solution?
stiks02 [169]

Answer: pOH = 4.68

Explanation:

pOH = 14 - pH

pH = - Log [H+]

= - Log [4.8 x 10^-10]

= -(-9.32)

pH =+9.32

Therefore, pOH= 14 - 9.32

= 4.68

Which missing item would complete this alpha decay reaction?<br> 21CF-247 Cm +
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98. 3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253. 4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is: ₉₈²⁵³ Cf.
