<span>SBr4 has 4 bonds and 1 lone pair of electrons with a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement with the shape of a seasaw.</span>

The valence electron configuration of sulfur S = 3s²3p⁴

Valence electron configuration of Br = 4s²4p⁵

In SBr4, the central Sulfur (S) atom forms 4 covalent bonds with the 4 bromine (Br) atoms. In addition it has 1 lone pair of electrons.

Since the electron geometry not only considers the bond pairs but the lone pairs as well, in the case of SBr4 this would be trigonal bipyramidal.

(Molecular geometry would only consider the 4 covalent bonds which would lend it a distorted tetrahedral structure)

32,500 joules are used to boil a sample of water at its melting point what is the mass of the water?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

43.18 gm

Explanation:

Heat of fusion of water at 0° C is 334  j/gm

 then you have to heat the water to boiling point (100 C)

    specific heat of water is 4.186 j/g-c

x = grams of water

x ( 334 + 4.186 (100) ) = 32500

x = 43.18 gm

Based on the representation, which of the following statements about the element is true ?
Greeley [361]

We generally represent an element by its symbol. provided with the atomic number and mass number or atomic mass

Atomic number is the number of protons present in an element. It is constant for an element.

The mass number of element is the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons

The atomic mass is the total mass of all the protons and neutrons present in the element (in its nucleus).

the number of electrons is equal to number of protons in a neutral atom of element.

The mass of electrons is not included in the total atomic mass of element as it is very low.

So here

12 = it is the number of protons = atomic number of element.

The true statements are

The combined mass of protons and neutrons is 24.305

Formaldehyde (h2co) reacts with oxygen to form co2 and h2o. how many moles of co2 will be produced from reacting 2 moles of h2co
bogdanovich [222]
Answer:
            2 mol of CO₂

Solution:

The reaction is as follow,

                              H₂CO  +  O₂     →     CO₂  +  H₂O

According to this equation,

                         1 mole of H₂CO produces  =  1 mole of CO₂
So,
                   2 moles of H₂CO will produce  =  X moles of CO₂

Solving for X,
                      X  =  (2 mol × 1 mol) ÷ 1 mol

                      X  =  2 mol of CO₂

Explain how the structure and bonding in bromine account for it's relatively low melting point.
svetlana [45]

Melting point is dependent on the intermolecular forces which means the bonds between the molecules of bromine as it is a simple molecular structure
