Answer: Either give off or gain electrons to make a total of 8
Answer: Entropy is sometimes described as the degree of randomness in a system.
The electron geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral even though the molecular geometry is bent.
As water molecule hybridisation is sp³ that provides it a electron geometry tetrahedral but due to presence of 2 lone pairs and 2 bond pairs its molecular geometry is bent.
The hybridisation sp³ makes electron geometry of a water molecule tetrahedral but the presence of 2 lone pairs makes its molecular geometry bent
An extra shell, which means further distance between those electrons in the valence shell and the nucleus. Ionisation energy refers to the energy required to remove valence electrons. There will be more energy required if the valence electrons are closer to the nucleus that have a positive charge, because of more attraction. If there is an extra shell, there is further distance, less attraction and hence less energy required.
