In-s [12.5K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Lone pairs and bonding pairs  

Explanation:

The electron domain around the central atom includes

  • All lone pairs on the central atom
  • All bonding pairs between the central atom and the atoms directly attached to it

Double and triple bonds count as single domains.

Thus, the nitrite ion has three electron domains:

  1. A lone pair
  2. An N-O single bond
  3. An N-O double bond

A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 41; how many protons, neutrons, and electrons are found within th
djverab [1.8K]
•The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.

•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.

•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.

So, the answer is:
B) 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

What does temperature indirectly measure? 1)Sound 2)Thermometers 3)Chemical Reactions 4)Heat​
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Heat

Explanation:

Temperature is the average thermal energy (or heat) in a substance. Sound isn't really related, thermometers measure temperature, and chemical reactions can produce heat, but none of those are measured by temperature.

Explain why BH3 is trigonal planar and NH3 is trigonal pyramidal.
Troyanec [42]

Answer:o It is important to realise that mixing will be small unless there are electrons in the 4a1 LUMO, this is why NH3 is pyramidal while BH3 is planar! ... This mixing is very strong and stabilises the 3a1 MO substantially and hence NH3 is trigonal pyramidal and not planar.
