Predict the shape of the molecule.

Chemistry
1 answer:
balandron [24]1 year ago

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.

Identify the electronegative element in each of the molecules:
faust18 [17]
Electronegativity means how strongly an atom can attract electrons. The more positive charge an atom has, the better it attracts the negatively charged electrons. However, distance is a factor too, so if the nucleus (where the protons are) starts becoming too large, the strength of the positive charge isn't as large as it would otherwise be.

Basically this means that fluorine is the most electronegative element since it has the most positive charge for its relative size. Elements closer to fluorine have higher electronegativities than elements further from it on the periodic table.

so in other words F is most electro, bc it attracts more electrons to its atom making other atoms Positive

Answer:

Oxygen and Carbon are in the non-metal section. Both are in 2nd period while Carbon is in group 4A and Oxygen is in group 6A.

Oxygen has more valence electrons than carbon. I wish I could give you a more accurate explanation why on paper, but all you need to do is count the electrons on the largest shell.

Here's the orbital notation of Carbon: 1s^2 2s^2 2px^1 py^1

Carbon's largest shell is 2. Count the electrons on shell 2, and you get 4 valence electrons.

Orbital notation of Oxygen: 1s^2 2s^2 2px^2 py^1 pz^1

Oxygen's largest shell is 2. So, like with carbon, count the electrons on the largest shell. You get 6.

There is a way easier way of interpreting this where you do not even have to write the orbital notation. I wish I can explain, but just know the periods and the group numbers.

A balloon filled with helium gas has a volume of 500 mL at a pressure of 1 atm. The balloon is released and reaches an altitude
Rasek [7]
We are using the General gas equation P x V/K = P x V/K
1. P = 1atm V=500ml so PxV= 500 at 6.5km P = 0.5atm V = ? so P xV = 0.5 x V
(We don't have to worry about temperature!) 500 = 0.5 x V so V = 1000ml

2. NO CHANGE in pressure here so we have V/K V=2.75 K = 20 + 273=293 so V/K= 2.75/293
Next set V = 2.46 K = ? so V/K = 2.46/K then 2.75/293= 2.46/K so K=(293/2.75)x2.46
=262 K
Convert back to Celsius 262 - 273 = -11 C
It's raining so I have to rescue the laundry!
Laundry rescued!

3.Now we have to use all three variables. I am using 273K and 100kPa for STP.
P = 100 V = 700 K = 273 These are altered P - unknown, V = 200 K = 273+30=303
!00 x 700/273 = 256.4 this is equal to P x 200/303 = P x 0.66
so P = 256.4/0.66 = 388.48kPa
