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

if you react 28 grams of butene with excess hydrogen how many grams of butane would you expect to get
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is 29 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, the reaction will be,

CH3CH=CHCH3 + H2 ⇒ CH3CH2CH2CH3

The molecular weight of butene is 56 grams per mole, and the molecular weight of butane is 58 grams per mole.

Thus, it can be said that 56 grams of butene reacts with hydrogen gas and produces 58 grams of butane.

Therefore, 28 grams of butene when reacts with hydrogen gas to give,

= 58/56 * 28 = 29 grams of butane.

Hence, the mass of butane produced will be 29 grams.
