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

Chemistry

nignag [31]2 years ago

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

The reactant concentration in a first-order reaction was 8.10×10−2 M M after 15.0 s s and 1.80×10−3 M M after 90.0 s s . What is
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The rate constant for the reaction is 1.056×10⁻³ M/s

Explanation:

To solve the question, e note that

For a zero order reaction, the rate law is given by

[A] = -k×t + [A]₀

This can be represented by the linear equation y = mx + c

Such that y = [A], m which is the gradient is = -k, and the intercept c = [A]₀

Therefore the rate constant k which is the gradient is given by

Gradient = \frac{[A]_{2} - [A]_{1}  }{t_{2} - t_{1}  }  where [A]₁ = 8.10×10⁻² M and [A]₂ = 1.80×10⁻³ M

= \frac{1.80*10^{-3} M- 8.10*10^{-2} M}{90 s - 15 s} = -0.001056 M/s = -1.056×10⁻³ M/s

Threfore k = 1.056×10⁻³ M/s

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A. LST

Explanation:

• 1st Law: The path of each planet around the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus.

• 2nd Law: The line from the Sun to any planet sweeps out equal areas of space in equal time intervals.

• 3rd Law: The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the average distance
