According to the VSEPR model, the arrangement of electron pairs around NH3 and CH4 is A. the same, because in each case there ar
e the same number of electron pairs around the central atom B. different or the same, depending on the conditions leading to maximum repulsion C. different, because in each case there are a different number of atoms around the central atom D. the same, because both nitrogen and carbon are both in the second period E. different, because in each case there are a different number of electron pairs around the central atom
According to VSEPR theory, There are repulsion forces exists among the bond pair - bond pair or bond pair - lone pair of electrons. In and , the number of electron pairs are same but methane has all the four bond pairs where in ammonia, three bond pairs and one lone pair exists. And thus there are repulsion forces possible in between the lone pair and bond pair of electrons thus the arrangement of electron pairs around both the molecules is same or different depending up on the conditions leading to maximum repulsion.
When the Zebra arrived they ate all the food so the Unionid mussels declined as they died from the lack of food. Causing the Zebra Zebra numbers to increase and Unionid numbers to decline.
