Your answer is D. 8

16 = 2^4
72 = 2^3*3^2

So you'll choose 2^3 = 8

Factors of 16 = 2 * 8
Factors of 72 = 9 * 8

In short, GCF Would be: 8 [Option D]

Hope this helps!

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Explain why HS2 has a bent geometry, while BeH2 has a linear geometry.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

H2S has a bent geometry, while BeH2 has a linear geometry because: presence of lone pair in H2S

Absence of Lone pair in BeH2

Explanation:

Structure of H2S :

Atomic number of S = 16 = 1s(2 )2s(2) 2p(6) 3s(2 )3p(4)

Outer most shell has 6 electron

Valence electron (Involved in bonding) = 6

Out of these 6 electrons ,

2 electrons are formed in bonding with Hydrogen

Rest 4 are non- bonding and present as lone - pair

H2S exist - sp3 hybridisation

There are 2-Lone pair on S in H2S (look at the image attached)

Structure of H2S :

Atomic number of Be = 4 = 1s(2 ) 2s(2)

Valence electron (Involved in bonding) = 2

These 2- electron are involved in bonding with two Hydrogen and form liner shape.*Form sp - hybridized

Hence shape is linear because it has non - lone pair.

VSEPR : According to this theory lone pair causes repulsion to the bond and cause unstability in the molecule.

Hence the bonds shifts away from lone pairs . This is why H-S bonds in H2S shifts way from lone pair

Explain, in terms of electrons, why the radius of a calcium ion is smaller than the radius of a calcium atom.

Lilit [14]

Because the calcium ion donates two electrons to achieve the stable state. So the layer of electrons decrease form 4 layers(2,8,8,2) to 3 layers(2,8,8). Thus, the radius of a calcium ion is smaller than a calcium atom.
