Which molecule has a tetrahedral arrangement of electron pairs but is not a tetrahedral molecule?

Chemistry

Answer:

Water

Explanation:

Electron geometry (arrangement) is tetrahdral but its molecular geometry is bent.

Oxygen has 6 electrons in the outermost shell but it only uses 2 electrons for forming bonds with 2 Hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom - center atom is surrounded by four electron pairs (2 pairs with 2 Hydrogen atoms, 2 lone pairs) so that its shape is tetrahedral. In contrast, it's supposed to be linear shaped but in fact it has bent molecular geometry due to lone pairs repel other electron pairs more strongly than bonded electrons.

Water

This is due to the fact that the oxygen atom in water also contains two lone pairs of electrons.

18. Which statement about photosynthesis is FALSE?
joja [24]
<h3>your query : </h3>

Which statement about photosynthesis is FALSE?

Answer:

b. Oxygen is needed as a reactant to produce

glucose is the incorrect statement here

Explanation:

plants uses simple raw materials to prepare their food , which includes water ( H2O ) and Carbon dioxide ( CO2 ).

and traps sunlight by Green pigments known as chlorophyll and stores these energy in bonds of glucose molecules

so ,

after this reaction glucose and oxygen is formed as products

● hence we conclude that Oxygen is not needed as a reactant to produce glucose , oxygen is the bi product formed during photosynthesis.

In eukaryotes, the process of cell division is called mitosis true or false quick pls :)
mamaluj [8]
True. Mitosis is a part of the call cycle when replicated chromosomes are separated into new nuclei. It is a for if eukaryotic cell division that produces two daughter cells with the same genetic components as the parent cells.

7. An element's most stable ion forms an ionic compound with chlorine having the formula XCl2. If the ion of element X has a mas
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The element is strontium and the number of neutrons it have is 51.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ionic compound is,  

XCl₂ ⇔ X₂⁺ + 2Cl⁻

X2+ is the ion of the mentioned element

As mentioned in the given question, the number of electrons of the element X is 36 and as seen from the reaction the charge present on the ion is +2. Now the atomic number will be,  

No. of electrons = atomic number - charge

36 = atomic number - 2

Atomic number = 38

Based on the periodic table, the atomic number 38 is for strontium element, and the sign of strontium is Sr. Hence, the element X is Sr.  

Now based on the given information, the mass number of the element is 89. Now the no. of neutrons will be,  

No. of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

= 89 - 38

= 51 neutrons.
