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

An alloy with an average grain diameter of 35 μm has a yield strength of 163 Mpa, and when it undergoes strain hardening, the gr

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

$\sigma_y\ =210.2\ MPa$

Explanation:

Given that

d= 35 μm ,yield strength = 163 MPa

d= 17 μm ,yield strength = 192 MPa

As we know that relationship between diameter and yield strength

$\sigma_y=\sigma_o+\dfrac{K}{\sqrt d}$

$\sigma_y\ =Yield\ strength$

d = diameter

K =Constant

$\sigma_o\ =material\ constant$

So now by putting the values

d= 35 μm ,yield strength = 163 MPa

$163=\sigma_o+\dfrac{K}{\sqrt 35}$ ------------1

d= 17 μm ,yield strength = 192 MPa

$192=\sigma_o+\dfrac{K}{\sqrt 17}$ ------------2

From equation 1 and 2

$192-163=\dfrac{K}{\sqrt 17}-\dfrac{K}{\sqrt 35}$

K=394.53

By putting the values of K in equation 1

$163=\sigma_o+\dfrac{394.53}{\sqrt 35}$

$\sigma_o\ =96.31\ MPa$

$\sigma_y=96.31+\dfrac{394.53}{\sqrt d}$

Now when d= 12 μm

$\sigma_y=96.31+\dfrac{394.53}{\sqrt 12}$

$\sigma_y\ =210.2\ MPa$

How does the polarity of water make water more cohesive than other liquids?

MatroZZZ [7]

Cohesion holds hydrogen bonds together to create surface tension on water. Since water is attracted to other molecules, adhesive forces pull the water toward other molecules.

PLEASE HELP!!!! Two science questions!!!! 20 points and brainliest!!!

1. A cylinder is submerged in water as illustrated in the diagram. Which of the following statements is true?

The pressure at D is greater than at B. This is because D is trying to get back to the surface with an amount of pressure. B has less amount of pressure.

2. A cylinder is submerged in water as illustrated in the diagram. If the area of the top and the bottom of the cylinder is the same, which of the following statements is true?

buoyant force = (force D - force A).

Edit: If you ever notice. When you fill a sink full of water. Put a glass upside down and try forcefully to submerge it under the water it will resist. This is because of the pressure and air. The glass is less dense then water. (Also depends on the glass)
