<span>B is less electronegative than F. So B becomes the central atom. If we have three F atoms, then we will be using all three electrons from the B. We divide the 360 degrees of a circle by the number of electrons, i.e. 3 and get the bond angle as 120 degrees. The VSEPR theory states that when the electron-pair geometry is trigonal planar the bond angle is around 118 degrees.</span>

Write the correct ionic formula when given two elements that bond ionically.
Tanzania [10]
Answer:
            Ionic bond is formed by the opposite ions attraction between the 2 atoms in an ionically bonded compound. The two ions i.e. Cation and Anions are formed by oxidation and reduction reactions respectively. General Ionic formula is as follow,

                                             Mⁿ⁺ + Nⁿ⁻   →  MN
where;
           Mⁿ⁺   =  Cation

           Nⁿ⁻   =  Anion

           MN  =  Salt

Explanation:
                   Ionic bond is the electrostatic forces of attraction between positively charged cations and negatively charged Anions. These forces are very stronger resulting in increasing several physical properties of Ionic compounds like melting point and boiling point e.t.c.

Example:

Sodium Chloride:
                           NaCl is formed by Na⁺ cation and Cl⁻ anion as follow,

Oxidation of Na;

                                      2 Na  →  2 Na⁺  +  2 e⁻
Reduction of Cl₂;

                                    Cl₂  +  2 e⁻  →  2 Cl⁻

Crystal Lattice formation is as follow,

                                  Na⁺  +  Cl⁻   →  NaCl

How many moles of electrons are transferred when 2.0 moles of aluminum metal react with excess copper(II) nitrate in aqueous sol
mojhsa [17]

Moles of electrons:

The moles of electrons that are transferred are 12F

A balanced equation:

2 moles of Aluminium metal react with excess copper(II) nitrate.

2Al + 3Cu{(NO_3)}_2  \rightarrow 2Al{(NO_3)}_3 +3 Cu

Given:

Moles of Aluminium = 2

As Aluminium goes from 0 to +3 oxidation state

Al \rightarrow Al^{3+} + 3e^-

And copper goes from +2 to 0

Cu^{2+} + 2e^-\rightarrow Cu

On balancing the number of electrons we get:

For 1 mole of Al 6e^- is required.

Therefore for 2 moles of Al,

Total (2\times6)F mole of electrons

Where F= Faraday's constant= 96500 C

So, 12F moles of electrons are transferred.

If ice is warmed and becomes a liquid, which type of process is it?
ser-zykov [4K]
If ice is warmed and becomes a liquid, the process is endothermic.

The process requires heat in order to proceed. If ice stays in a very cold place, it will not melt unless it's heated. If ice is placed outside where it melts on its own, it gets the heat from the surroundings.

Poor precision in scientific measurement may arise from
Arturiano [62]
<span>Based on the experience of the responder, to correctly calculate measurements in real-world. Firstly is to avoid errors as much as possible. Errors are what makes your measurement invalid and unreliable. There are two types of error which is called the systematic error and the random error. Each error has different sources. Words that were mentioned –invalid and unreliable are very important key aspects to determine that your measure is truly accurate and consistent. Some would recommend using the mean method, doing three trials in measuring and getting their mean, in response to this problem.</span>

How to classify hemicetal and acetal
kumpel [21]
You might have meant hemiacetal, not hemicetal.
Acetals contain two –OR groups, one –R group and a –H atom. In hemiacetals, one of the –OR groups in acetals is replaced by a –OH group<span>.
