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>

What is the density of 0.50 grams of gaseous carbon stored under 1.5 atm of pressure at a temperature of -20.0 C?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer: The density of 0.50 grams of gaseous carbon stored under 1.50 atm of pressure at a temperature of -20.0 °C is 0.867 g/L.

Explanation:

  • d = m/V, where d is the density, m is the mass and V is the volume.
  • We have the mass m = 0.50 g, so we must get the volume V.
  • To get the volume of a gas, we apply the general gas law PV = nRT

P is the pressure in atm (P = 1.5 atm)

V is the volume in L (V = ??? L)

n is the number of moles in mole, n = m/Atomic mass, n = 0.50/12.0 = 0.416 mole.

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K).

T is the temperature in K (T(K) = T(°C) + 273 = -20.0 + 273 = 253 K).

  • Then, V = nRT/P = (0.416 mol)(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(253 K) / (1.5 atm) = 0.576 L.
  • Now, we can obtain the density; d = m/V = (0.50 g) / (0.576 L) = 0.867 g/L.
