The number of lone pairs that are most likely found on the central atom is zero. There are no lone pairs found on the central atom.

Answer: Zero lone pairs on the central atom.

Explanation:

  • Lone pairs and bond pairs together decides the geometry of the molecule.
  • Bond pairs  together decides the shape of the molecule.

The molecule is with with tetrahedral shape which means that molecule has a tetrahedral geometry.

The value of number of electrons around the central atom with tetrahedral geometry according to VESPR theory is '4'. Which means that electrons around the central atom are 4.

Since, the molecule is in tetrahedral shape which means four bonds are pointing in direction towards the four vertices of tetrahedral which means their are zero lone pair present on the central atom.

TRIPLE POINTS!!! I NEED HELP!!! PLEASE EXPLAIN TOO!!! What is the energy of a quantum of light with a frequency of 4.31 x 1014 1
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The answer is

2.86 \times  {10}^{ - 19}  \: J

Explanation:

The energy of a quantum of light can be found by using the formula

<h3>E = hf</h3>

where

E is the energy

f is the frequency

h is the Planck's constant which is

6.626 × 10-³⁴ Js

From the question

f = 4.31 × 10¹⁴ Hz

We have

E = 4.31 × 10¹⁴ × 6.626 × 10-³⁴

We have the final answer as

2.86 \times  {10}^{ - 19}  \: J

Hope this helps you

Identify two ways that temperature plays a role in chemical changes.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Increasing the temperature will cause chemical changes to occur faster. Decreasing the temperature, causes the particles to lose energy which causes them to move around less and slower. The less they move, the less collisions occur, and the less reactions occur between the chemicals = slower reaction rate.

Refrigerators are usually kept at about 5°C, while room temperature is about 20°C. if you were to take an empty sealed 2 liter s
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

c) No, because Celsius is not an absolute temperature scale

Explanation:

converting  5 oC to kelvin which is the absolute temperature scale gives = 273 + 5 = 278 K

and converting 20 oC to kelvin = 20 + 273 = 293 K

the ratio = 278 / 293 = 0.94 approx 1 not 4
