Answer:
When atoms join together to form molecules, they are held together by chemical bonds. These bonds form as a result of the sharing or exchange of electrons between the atoms. It is only the electrons in the outermost shell that ever get involved in bonding.
Answer:
Tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, trigonal bipyramidal.
Explanation:
The VSPER theory states that the bonds of sharing electrons and the lone pairs of electrons will repulse as much as possible. So, by the repulsion, the molecule will have some shape.
In the ion PO₄³⁻, the central atom P has 5 electrons in its valence shell, so it needs 3 electrons to be stable. Oxygen has 6 electrons at the valence shell and needs 2 to be stable. 3 oxygens share 1 pair of electrons with P, and the two lone pair remaining in P is shared with the other O, then the central atom makes 4 bonds and has no lone pairs, the shape is tetrahedral.
In the ion H₃O⁺, the central atom O has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 electrons to be stable. The hydrogen has 1 electron, and need 1 more to be stable. The hydrogens share 1 pair of electrons with the oxygen, then it remains 3 electrons at the central atom, and the VSPER theory states that the shape will be a trigonal pyramidal.
In the AsF₅, the central atom As has 5 valence electrons, and F has 1 electron in its valence shell, so each F shares one pair of electrons with As, and there are no lone pairs in the central atom. For 5 bonds without lone pairs, the shape is trigonal bipyramidal.
Answer:
I. The balloon has a volume of 22.4L
III. The balloon contains 6.022x10^23 molecules.
Explanation:
At stp, it has been proven that 1mole of a gas occupy 22.4L.
Therefore, option (i) is correct.
The molar mass N2 = 14.01 x 2 = 28.02g/mol
Number of mole of N2 = 1 mole
Mass of N2 =..?
Mass = mole x molar Mass
Mass of N2 = 1 x 28.02 = 28.02g.
The mass content of the balloon is 28.02g, therefore, option (ii) is wrong.
From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules. This implies that 1 mole of N2 also contains 6.02x10^23 molecules
Therefore, option (iii) is correct.
The correct options to the question are:
Option i and option iii
