Answer: b). The B−A−B angles between neighboring B atoms are 90∘.

Explanation: The square planar geometry is the geometry in which the four groups are connected through an angle of 90∘ and all 5 atoms are in one plane.

It is not necessary for the molecule to have two non bonding pair of electrons on atom A but if it does have , then its parent geometry will be distorted octahedral. And if it doesn't have this non bonding pair of electrons then the geometry would be the square planar.

Thus the molecule has four electron domains about the central atom A if the parent geometry is square planar otherwise it would have 8 electron domain in distorted octahedral geometry.

Engineers are developing a process to produce phosphorus pentachloride.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Options B and C are the two criteria that are most essential

Explanation:

When trying to develop a novel process, it is important that the new process involves the use of equipment that can be operated safely by workers so as to prevent death or injury in the cause of handling this equipment. If this equipment is seen not to be safe or cannot be handled safely by workers, it can/will force workers to previous or alternative methods that require more safe equipment.

Also, the process must be able to maximize the most of the reactants, i.e the process must be able to convert a good percentage of the reactants into the desired product (phosphorus pentachloride) since that is the focus. This will also lead to reduction of byproducts produced which could be useful or otherwise (a loss).

Classify the chemical reaction shown here: CrF3+H3PO4→CrPO4+3HF

Lana71 [14]

The answer
he chemical reaction CrF3+H3PO4 → CrPO4 + 3HF
the main formula is
when we observe a reaction as follow:
XY + ZT --------------- XT + YZ
this is classified as double replacement reactions, this means: two ionic compounds exchange ions, producing 2 new ionic compounds.
in our case we have CrF3+H3PO4 → CrPO4 + 3HF
so the classification is double-replacement reactions

A scilentific experiment is repeated, but its results cannot be repeated by others. What can you conclude about the experiment?

klasskru [66]

If the results of the experiment on repeating are not same, it shows the results are not standard, there are some factors, which are not constant
