Answer:

(C) PCl₅

Explanation:

(A) AlCl₄⁻

The central atom has 4 bond pairs and 0 lone pair. Hybridization is sp³. The geometry is tetrahedral which has an angle of 109.5°.

(B) NH₃

The central atom has 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair. Hybridization is sp³. The geometry is pyramidal which has an angle of approximately 107.5°.

(C) PCl₅

The central atom has 5 bond pairs and 0 lone pair. Hybridization is sp³d². The geometry is trigonal bipyramidal in which the equatorial bonds has an angle of 120° and axial bond has an angle of 90°.

(D) CO₂

The central atom has 4 bond pairs and 0 lone pair. Hybridization is sp. The geometry is linear which has an angle of 180°.

(E) H₂O

The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs. Hybridization is sp³. The geometry is bent shape which has an angle of approximately 105.5°.

Write the chemical symbol for three different atoms or atomic cations with 22 electrons
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

To write the chemical symbol for an atom or cation with 22 electrons, we must understand some few things about an atom.

An atom is made up of positively charged paticles called protons which are located in the nucleus. The neutrons do not have any charges and are they reside together in the nucleus with the protons.

Electrons are negatively charged particles which orbits the nucleus.

Titanium in its neutral state is the 22nd element on the periodic table and it has 22 electrons.

Vanadium is the the 23rd element on the periodic table. If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and it is a cation.

Chromium is the 24th element on the periodic table. A loss of two electrons makes the net electrons remaining on it 22.

The symbols are:

       ₂₂Ti

        ₂₃V¹⁺

        ₂₄Cr²⁺

A hot air balloon is filled with 15 moles helium gas and 5 moles nitrogen gas. What is the volume of the balloon at 1.01 atm and
kvasek [131]

<u>Given:</u>

Moles of He = 15

Moles of N2 = 5

Pressure (P) = 1.01 atm

Temperature (T) = 300 K

<u>To determine:</u>

The volume (V) of the balloon

<u>Explanation:</u>

From the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P = pressure of the gas

V = volume

n = number of moles of the gas

T = temperature

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K

In this case we have:-

n(total) = 15 + 5 = 20 moles

P = 1.01 atm and T = 300K

V = nRT/P = 20 moles * 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K * 300 K/1.01 atm = 487.7 L

Ans: Volume of the balloon is around 488 L
