A molecule in which the central atom forms three single bonds and has one lone pair is said to have a ________ shape.

Chemistry
1 answer:
nignag [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer : The correct option is, (c) pyramidal

Explanation :

As we are given that a molecule in which the central atom forms three single bonds and has one lone pair that means the central metal atom has 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons.

There are total 4 electron pairs. So, the hybridization will be sp^3 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

But as there are three atoms or bonds around the central atom and the fourth position occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be pyramidal.

Hence, correct option is, (c) pyramidal

3 moles of anything is how many particles?
Natali [406]

Answer:

<h2>1.806 × 10²⁴ particles</h2>

Explanation:

The number of particles in a substance can be found by using the formula

<h3>N = n × L</h3>

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

N = 3 × 6.02 × 10²³

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.806 × 10²⁴ particles</h3>

Hope this helps you

Propenoic acid is an unsaturated carboxylic acid. Describe how you could show
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Tests for unsaturation involves addition across the multiple bonds in the unsaturated compound.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, we define an unsaturated compound as any compound that contains a double or triple bond. These multiple bonds are also known as pi bonds.

There are two major tests for unsaturation which shall both be discussed here.

The first test for unsaturation is by the use of bromine water. The unknown sample is passed through a solution of bromine water which normally appears reddish brown. The bromine water becomes decolorized due to addition of bromine across the multiple bond. This is a standard test for unsaturation.

Secondly, unsaturated compounds decoulourize a solution of potassium permanganate when passed through it. This alone can not be used as a distinctive test for unsaturation.

Propenoic acid will give a positive test to the both reagents showing that it contains multiple bonds, in this particular instance, a double bond.
