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.

The dependent variable is plant height.

The dependent variable (plant height) is the property that changes as a result something the scientist does.

The independent variable is the property that the scientist changes systematically (the amount of CO_2) to see its effect.

The number of plants and the types of plants are uncontrolled variables. They may or may not affect the heights of the plants.

Answer:

Explanation:

When comparing the drops of oil and water, one thing I noticed was the shape. The water drop was more defined, whereas the drop of oil began to spread and was much flatter. This may be due to the waxy material, and how both oil and water react to the wax.

Gold (au) goes from an oxidation number of +3 to 0 in the reaction below. 2Au3+ + 6I- ---> 2Au + 3I2. what describes the Au3+

mamaluj [8]

In a reduction-oxidation or better known as REDOX reaction, the substance that reduces the oxidation state is known as the substance that is REDUCED. It serves as the oxidizing agent. Thus, Au3+ in this number is considered as the oxidizing agent.

How many grams of the excess reactant remain assuming the reaction goes to completion and that you start with 15.5g of na2s and

tangare [24]

The reaction between Na2S and CuSO4 will give us the balanced chemical reaction of,
Na2S + CUSO4 --> Na2SO4 + CuS
This means that for every 78g of Na2S, there needs to be 159.6 g of CuSO4. The ratio is equal to 0.4887 of Na2S: 1 of CuSO4. Thus, for every 12.1g of CuSO4, we need only 5.91 g of Na2S. Thus, there is an excess of 9.58 g of Na2S. The answer is letter C.

Bezzdna [24]

Answer: As a result, each excited electron in an atom emits a photon of a specific wavelength. To put it another way, each excited noble gas emits a distinct hue of light. This is a reddish-orange neon light.
