I need help understanding polyatomic ions

1 answer:

3 0

A polyatomic ion, also known as a molecular ion, is a charged chemical species (ion) composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded or of a metal complex that can be considered to be acting as a single unit. The prefix poly- means "many," in Greek, but even ions of two atoms are commonly referred to as polyatomic

1. Describe how SHAPE can change during a collision. Be specific with your evidence and add detail to your answer.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Hey

of course, the damage of a collision depends upon how fast to objects are moving at each other and how strong they are. If you have two tanks moving at each other 2 miles per hour it will be very little damage and the ->shape<- will not change much, maybe a dint or two. But if two balloons filled with water are moving at each other 5000 mph they will completely evoporate in a burst of light, and their ->shape<- will change very much. This is how shape and motion are related.

Hope it helped

Choose a likely identity for X, Y, and Z in these structures. A central X atom is bonded to two chlorine atoms through single bo

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

X= Be

Y= B

Z=O

Explanation:

From the description of the compound XCl2, among the options listed only beryllium can form such compound with three lone pairs in the two chlorine atoms and no lone pair on the central atom X.

From the description of YCl3, only Boron among the options listed can form such a compound with no lone pair on the central atom and three lone pairs on each of the chlorine atoms.

From the description of ZCl2, only oxygen forms the compound OCl2 among the elements listed where oxygen possesses two lone pairs and each chlorine atom possesses three lone pairs each.

Which of the species below can act as a lewis base? bf3 nf3 oh− alcl3?

IRINA_888 [86]

Among BF₃, NF₃, OH⁻ and ALCl₃ both NF₃ and OH⁻ acts as a lewis base.

Explaination:
According to lewis theory of acid and base, base is a specie which has either lone pair of electrons or is negatively charged. So, in the given compounds Nitrogen trifluoride contain lone pair of electron on nitrogen and Hydroxide contains a negative charge on oxygen. And botha are capable to donate these electrons to a lewis acid (electrophiles).
