If a hydrogen atom gains an electron, then

1 answer:

6 0

<span>The charge of the ion becomes negative. This is because electrons naturally come with a negative charge. Adding one electron will make the charge 1-, as it was a balanced atom before taking on the additional particle.</span>

Answer:

It could probably be O.

Explanation:

Just like eye or hair color, our blood type is inherited from our parents. Each biological parent donates one of two ABO genes to their child. The A and B genes are dominant and the O gene is recessive. For example, if an O gene is paired with an A gene, the blood type will be A.

What word or two-word phrase best describes the shape of the hydrogen cyanide ( hcn ) molecule?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer : Linear

Explanation : Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) when drwan in the Lewis diagram shows carbon atom at the center with no lone electron pairs.

The carbon and nitrogen atoms are bonded through a triple bond which counts as "one electron pair".

The molecule has two electron pairs in all and appears to be linear.

Also, according to the VSEPR theory; the electron clouds on atoms around the carbon will try to repel each other.

They will get pushed apart, which gives HCN molecule a linear molecular geometry or shape.

The bond angle that is developed will be 180 degrees since it has a linear molecular geometry of HCN. The hybridisation observed in this molecule is SP.
