Answer : A tetrahedral molecule has 4 regions of high electron density around the central atom. These molecules have central atoms with 0 lone pairs and 4 atoms bonded to them.

Explanation :  

As we are given the molecular geometry of the molecule that is tetrahedral and the hybridization of tetrahedral molecule is, sp^3.

That means the number of electron density around the central atom is 4 and the electronic geometry or the molecular geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

And these molecule have central atoms with zero (0) lone pair and four (4) atoms bonded to them.

For example : In CH_4  molecule, the central atom is carbon and neighboring atoms are 4 hydrogen atoms. The number of electron density is 4 that means the hybridization will be sp^3 and the electronic geometry or the molecular geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

In CH_4  molecule, the central atom (carbon) has zero lone pair and the central atom (carbon) bonded with 4 hydrogen atoms.

<span>The answer is "A tetrahedral molecule has 4 regions of high electron density around the central atom. These molecules have central atoms with 0 lone pairs and 4 atoms bonded to them." Based on the octet rule, the atom must have 8 electrons to become stable. As a result, the molecule will not have lone pairs.</span>

Force F with arrow = (9.0 N)i hat − (9.0 N)k acts on a pebble with position vector r with arrow = (0.90 m)j − (1.2 m)k relative
vredina [299]

Answer:

τ = - (8.1 N-m) i - (10.8 N-m) j - (8.1 N-m) k

Explanation:

Given

r = (0 m) i + (0.9 m) j - (1.2 m) k

F = (9 N) i + (0 N) j - (9 N) k

We can apply

τ = r x F

τ = ((0 m) i + (0.9 m) j - (1.2 m) k) x ((9 N) i + (0 N) j - (9 N) k)

⇒  τ = - (8.1 N-m) i - (10.8 N-m) j - (8.1 N-m) k

Place these hydrocarbons in order of decreasing boiling point. Compound Structure butane CH3CH2CH2CH3 pentane CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3 2,
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Order of hydrocarbons in decreasing order of boiling point:

Paraffin > Hexadecane > Pentane >  Dimethylpropane > Butane

Explanation:

Boiling points of hydrocarbons depend upon:

Mass of the hydrocarbon

Intermolecular forces of interaction

Hydrocarbons of greater mass or greater number of carbons have greater molecular mass.

Molecular formula of paraffin is CH_3(CH2)_{33}CH3

Molecular formula of hexadecane is CH_3(CH2)_{14}CH3

Among given hydrocarbons, number of carbon is highest in paraffin and hence has highest boiling point.

Boiling point of paraffin is followed by hexadecane having second highest number of carbon.

Mass of dimethylpropane and pentane are comparable. But boiling point of dimethylpropane is less than pentane. This is because branching decreases intermolecular force of attraction (van der Waal's force) which leads to decrease in boiling point.

No. of carbon in butane is least among given. So its boiling point is lowest.

Hence, Order of hydrocarbons in decreasing order of boiling point:

Paraffin > Hexadecane > Pentane >  Dimethylpropane > Butane

What is the name of the high energy compound that cells use directly to fuel other chemical reactions?
irga5000 [103]

Answer:-

ATP Adenosine Triphosphate

Explanation:-

ATP is the name of the high energy compound that cells use directly to fuel other chemical reactions. It is found in all cells. In the mitochondria, every "turn" of the citric acid cycle produces one equivalent of ATP.

ATP + H 2O → ADP + Pi+ energy

ADP is adenosine monophosphate.

In the galvanic cell Al(s) ǀ Al3+(aq, 1 M) ǀǀ Cu2+(aq, 1 M) ǀ Cu(s) which of the following changes will increase the cell potent
dangina [55]
The cathode electrode is copper. This means that the concentration of copper must be increased to increase the cell potential. This can be done by diluting the Al3+ solution. Increasing the surface area will not change the current but will increase the voltage. The answer is (D) I and III only.
