What angle is needed to spread 4 bonds as far apart as possible?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Roman55 [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

109°

Explanation:

According to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory, electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom of a molecule must be positioned as far apart in space as possible to minimize repulsion between valence shell electron pairs.

The shape of a molecule depends on the number and type of electron pairs on the valence shell of its central atom. Lone pairs generally cause more repulsion than bond pairs of electrons.

The ideal bond angle for a molecule with four bonds is 109° which corresponds to a tetrahedral geometry. This enables the four bonds to spread as far apart in space as possible.

How do you determine if and ion has a<br> noble-gasconfiguration?
Soloha48 [4]

Explanation:

Noble gas configuration is defined as the configuration which contains completely filled orbitals.

For example, oxygen atom when gain two electrons then it forms oxygen ion (O^{2-}).

Atomic number of oxygen atom is 8 and so, its number of electrons will also be 8. But when it gain two electrons then it has total 10 electrons. Hence, electronic configuration of O^{2-} is as follows.

          1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}

Since, there are completely filled orbitals in an O^{2-} ions. Therefore, it means this ion has a  noble-gas configuration.

Thus, we can conclude that any specie which shows completely filled orbitals will have noble-gas configuration.

How many moles of hydrogen are there, if there are 4 molecules of hydrogen?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case, according to the Periodic table

there is 1g of hydrogen per mole. As we know that dihydrogen (H2) has two hydrogen atoms per molecule. So,there will be 2*1g hydrogen per mole=2g dihydrogen per mole.

If there is 2g dihydrogen per mole,and we have 4g,then we know that there is 2 mole dihydrogen in 4g.And for hydrogen there is 4 moles in 4g of hydrogen
