It is important to have the correct bond angles of the different atoms and the shape of the molecule due to following reasons;
Among other properties the polarity of compounds mainly depend upon the shape and bond angles of that particular compound. For example, considering the molecule of water, we already know that it is a polar molecule with partially positive hydrogen atoms and partially negative oxygen atoms and acts as universal solvent. The bond angle in water is about 104.5° with a Bent geometry. Unlike carbon dioxide (CO₂) which has Linear structure with bond angle 180° and is non-polar in nature therefore, the bent geometry in water is responsible for the polarity.
Other properties which can also be predicted by predicting the bond angles along with molecular geometries are;
i) Magnetism
ii) Phase of matter
iii) Color
iv) Reactivity
v) Biological activities <em>e.t.c</em>
Answer:
Option C:- that is equal to mass of an proton.
Explanation:
Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, about 1.67 × 10-24 grams, which scientists define as one atomic mass unit (amu) or one Dalton. While electron has mass of 9.31 ×10⁻¹⁹.
The population tha increases the amount of soil nutrients available to plants is D) bees that help spread pollen from one plant to another.
Answer:
Option 6 ) Neutralization
Explanation:
For this case, the missing coefficient would be a "6" before the H₂O, within final products (right side of the equiation), hence, the final reaction should be:
2H₃PO₄ + 3Ba(OH)₂ ------> Ba₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O
You should have in mind that the amount of atoms at each side of the chemical equation should be the same, so as to comply with the principle of mass conservation. If you add "6" on the left side of the H₂O, the equation will be balanced (for each side, lef and right, you will have: 12H, 2P, 14O and 3Ba)
Lastly, this is a chemical neutralization reaction, where an acid (H₃PO₄) is reacting with a base (Ba(OH)₂) in order to finally obtain a neutral salt (Ba₃(PO₄)₂) and water (H₂O)
