Why is it important to have the correct bond angles of the different atoms and the shape of the molecule? (20 points NEED ANSWER
hjlf

It is important to have the correct bond angles of the different atoms and the shape of the molecule due to following reasons;

                  Among other properties the polarity of compounds mainly depend upon the shape and bond angles of that particular compound. For example, considering the molecule of water, we already know that it is a polar molecule with partially positive hydrogen atoms and partially negative oxygen atoms and acts as universal solvent. The bond angle in water is about 104.5° with a Bent geometry. Unlike carbon dioxide (CO₂) which has Linear structure with bond angle 180° and is non-polar in nature therefore, the bent geometry in water is responsible for the polarity.

                  Other properties which can also be predicted by predicting the bond angles along with molecular geometries are;

                                      i) Magnetism

                                      ii) Phase of matter

                                       iii) Color

                                      iv) Reactivity

                                       v) Biological activities <em>e.t.c</em>

Compare the sizes and directions of the arrows in each picture representing forces acting on the person. Which of the following
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

A, is a girl balancing on her hands, a red arrow is pointing up and is the same length as an arrow pointing down.

Explanation:

vvEven she was still on her feet the force thats pulling her down is gravity and when you have figure the force that makes it easier so when the 2 arrows are the same size that means the force is balenced

please brailiest please i need one more

Chlorine is used to disinfect swimming pools. the accepted concentration for this purpose is 1.00 ppm chlorine, or 1.00 g of chl
frez [133]

The accepted concentration of chlorine is 1.00 ppm that is 1 gram of chlorine per million of water.

The volume of water is 2.29\times 10^{4} gal.

Since, 1 gal= 3785.41 mL

Thus, 2.29\times 10^{4} gal=2.29\times 10^{4}\times 3785.41 mL=8.66\times 10^{7}mL

Density of water is 1 g/mL thus, mass of water will be 8.66\times 10^{7}g.

Since, 1 grams of chlorine →10^{6} grams of water.

1 g of water →10^{-6} g of chlorine and,

8.66\times 10^{7}g of water →86.6 g of chlorine

Since, the solution is 9% chlorine by mass, the volume of solution will be:

V=\frac{100}{9}\times 86.6 mL=9.62\times 10^{2} mL

Thus, volume of chlorine solution is 9.62\times 10^{2} mL.

Boron has two isotopes, Boron 10 which has a mass of 10.0129 amu and Boron-11 with a mass of 11.0093 amu. B-10 occurs 84.74% of
podryga [215]

The average atomic mass of Boron: 10.431 amu

<h3>Further explanation   </h3>

Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.  

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)  

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes  

In determining the mass of an atom, as a standard is the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom whose mass is 12 amu  

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.%  + ...

The average atomic mass of boron :

\tt avg~mass=0.8474\times 10.0129+0.1526\times 11.0093\\\\avg~mass=10.431~amu

Which aldehyde is an intermediate in the reduction of ethyl benzoate with lithium aluminum hydride?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

tetrahedral aldehyde

Explanation:

  1. The reaction begins with a hydride nucleophile reacting with the ester carbonyl carbon to form the tetrahedral intermediate.
  1. The carbonyl reforms to produce an aldehyde with the loss of the alkoxide ion.
  2. The resulting aldehyde undergoes a subsequent reaction with a hydride nucleophile to form another tetrahedral intermediate. The carbonyl is not able to reform, because there are no stable leaving groups.
  3. Therefore, the tetrahedral intermediate is protonated to produce a primary alcohol.
