Answer:

Explanation:

SF4 forms a trigonal bipyramidal shape and its molecular shape is that of a "see-saw".

Since sulfur is in 3rd period, it violates the octet rule and has more than 8 electrons accompanying its valence shell.

Here's a picture of lewis structure and electron geometry.

Which is the dependent variable in an experiment? 1.what I observe. 2. what I keep the same 3.What I change in the experiment. H

Answer:

1.what I observe.

Explanation:

The dependent variable in an experiment is what is being observed in the experimental procedure.

This variable is the one that is closely tied to the effects originating from changing the independent variables.

Independent variables are the ones that cause the observation being studied.
The effects produced and then studied are the dependent variables.

Is O2 always a double bond?

Dima020 [189]

O-O single bonds and H-O single bonds in $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecules.
H-O single bonds in $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecules.
O=O double bonds in $\text{O}_2$ molecules.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

How many valence electrons do atoms in each molecule need for them to be stable?

Each H atom needs two valence electrons to be stable.
Each atom of an element other than H needs eight valence electron to be stable.

There are two H atoms and two O atoms in an $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecule. Atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ need $2 \times 1 + 2\times 2 = 6$ more electrons to be stable.
There are two H atoms and one O atom in an $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule. Atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule need $2 \times 1 + 2= 4$ more electrons to be stable.
There are two O atoms in an $\text{O}_2$ molecule. Atoms in each $\text{O}_2$ molecule need $2 \times 2 = 4$ more electrons to be stable.

How many chemical bonds in each molecule?

Each chemical bond adds one valence electron to each bonding atom. Each chemical bond connects two atoms. As a result, each chemical bond adds two valence electrons to the molecule.

Each $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecule needs $6 / 2 = 3$ chemical bonds.
Each $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule needs $4 / 2 = 2$ chemical bonds.
Each $\text{O}_2$ molecule needs $4 /2= 2$ chemical bonds.

What chemical bonds are these? Again, each H atom needs only one more valence electron to be stable. It will share only one electron with O and form one H-O bond. The rest of the chemical bonds are between O atoms.

There are two H atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Two of the three chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. The other is an O-O single bond between the two O atoms.
There are two H atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Both chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. There's no O-O bond in this molecule.
There is no H atom in $\text{O}_2$ molecules. Both chemical bonds are between O atoms. However, there are only two O atoms. There must be two chemical bonds between the two O atoms. That bond will be an O-O double bond.
