Answer:

Wavelength

Explanation:

A wave in general, is a disturbance that travels through a point in space. It is composed of a series of alternating peaks and valleys.

Peaks are points along the wave, where its amplitude or displacement from the rest position is maximum in a positive upward direction. These peaks are also referred to as 'crests'. Valleys or 'troughs' are points with maximum displacement in the negative downward direction.

In a water wave (or waves in general), the distance between two crests or peaks is referred to as the wavelength represented by the greek symbol, λ.

Determine the electron geometry, molecular geometry, and idealized bond angles for each of the following molecules. CF4CF4 NF3NF
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

CF4

Molecular geometry- tetrahedral

Electron geometry- tetrahedral

NF3

-molecular geometry - trigonal pyramidal

Electron geometry - tetrahedral

OF2

Molecular geometry - bent

Molecular geometry - tetrahedral

H2S

Molecular geometry- bent

Electron geometry - tetrahedral

Explanation:

According to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory, the shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.

For all the compounds listed, the central atom has four points of electron density. This correspond to a tetrahedra electron pair geometry. The presence of lone pairs on the central atom of OF2,NF3 and H2S accounts for the departure of the observed molecular geometry from the geometry and idealized bond angle predicted on the basis of the VSEPR theory.

How many grams of o2(g) are needed to completely burn 70.2 g of C3H8(g)
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
First you must write a balanced chemical equation.

C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O

From there, we can set up the stoichiometry equation to solve.

g O2= 70.2 g C3H8 X (1 mol C3H8/44.0962g C3H8) X (5 mol O2/1 mol C3H8) X (31.998g O2/1 mol O2)

Now solve, and you should get 254.7 g O2. Hope this helped!
