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>

maksim [4K]

Answer:

6.022  ×10(index 23) / 7.5 = 0.8293 ×10(index 23)

Explanation:

molar mass of C =  12gmol

therefore in 12g of C there is one mole or an amount of 6.022 ×10(index 23)

∴12g/6.02210(index 23) ×1.6g

What is the overall charge of an ion that has 12 protons, 10 electrons, and 14 neutrons?
kakasveta [241]
The charge of the ion would be +2, because there are 2 more protons than there are electrons.  The neutrons don't matter because they have a neutral charge, meaning they are neither positive nor negative.
