Answer : The correct option is, (B) Tetrahedral compound

Explanation :

Formula used:

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

First we have to determine the hybridization of the $CH_4$ molecule.

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [4+4]=4$

The number of electrons are 4 and there is no lone pairs present on the central carbon atom that means the hybridization will be $sp^3$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

Hence, the shape of the given compound $CH_4$ is, tetrahedral.

Select the correct value for the indicated bond angle in each of the following compounds: O-S-O angle of SO2 F-B-F angle of BF3

Stels [109]

Answer:

(A) O-S-O bond angle of SO₂ molecule = 119°

(B) F-B-F bond angle of BF₃ molecule = 120°

(D) O-C-O bond angle of CO₂ molecule = 180°

(E) F-P-F bond angle of PF₃ molecule = 96.3°

(F) H-C-H bond angle of CH₄ molecule = 109.5°

Explanation:

Bond angle refers to the angle between two adjacent chemical bonds in a molecule. The bond angle is different for different molecular geometry.

The Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory predicts the molecular geometry and shape of the given molecule by the number of lone pairs on central atom and number of atoms bonded to central atom.

(A) SO₂ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to S = 2

Number of lone pairs on S = 1

Therefore, the shape of SO₂ molecule is bent and the O-S-O bond angle is 119°.

(B) BF₃ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to B = 3

Number of lone pairs on B = 0

Therefore, the shape of BF₃ molecule is trigonal planar and the F-B-F bond angle is 120°.

(C) SCl₂ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to S = 2

Number of lone pairs on S = 2

Therefore, the shape of SCl₂ molecule is bent and the Cl-S-Cl bond angle is 103°.

(D) CO₂ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to C = 2

Number of lone pairs on C = 0

Therefore, the shape of CO₂ molecule is linear and the O-C-O bond angle is 180°.

(E) PF₃ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to P = 3

Number of lone pairs on P = 1

Therefore, the shape of PF₃ molecule is trigonal pyramidal and the F-P-F bond angle is 96.3°.

(F) CH₄ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to C = 4

Number of lone pairs on C = 0

Therefore, the shape of CH₄ molecule is tetrahedral and the H-C-H bond angle is 109.5°.

Which of the following is an example of behavioral variation?

ANTONII [103]

Answer: A, parrots eat seeds, fruit, and nuts, while hawks eat meat.

Explanation:

This option is more onto the behavioral and what the parrots did, while the other options were more on the parrots physical attributions.

I hope this helped! :)

Which organisms in this food web are carnivores? Select the two correct

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The two correct options are Poison dart frog and Boa constrictor. Both these organisms are pure carnivores which are also known as pure meat eaters in the food web. Carnivores are organisms in the food chain that only meat-eaters and never take any type of vegetation in their diet.

Explanation:

A Poison dart frog purely survives on meat (meat- eater).
Long sticky tongues are used to catch their prey such as ants, flies, insects.
Since they produce high toxin levels, it has very few predators in the wild.
Boa constrictor is also an organism that eats only meat.
While they are young they eat prey like rats, squirrels and mice.
The type of attack used by a boa constrictor is an ambush attack type. It attacks its preys using the surprise factor.

Consider the balanced reaction

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

561 g P₂O₃

Explanation:

To find the mass of P₂O₃, you need to (1) convert moles H₃PO₃ to moles P₂O₃ (via mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients) and then (2) convert moles P₂O₃ to grams P₂O₃ (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the amount of sig figs in the given value.

Atomic Mass (P): 30.974 g/mol

Atomic Mass (O): 15.998 g/mol

Molar Mass (P₂O₃): 2(30.974 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (P₂O₃): 109.942 g/mol

1 P₂O₃ + 3 H₂O -----> 2 H₃PO₃

10.2 moles H₃PO₃ 1 mole P₂O₃ 109.942 g
---------------------------- x -------------------------- x ------------------- = 561 g P₂O₃
2 moles H₃PO₃ 1 mole
