Answer:

lone pair-bond pair repulsion is best accounted for decrease in bond angle

Explanation:

Bond angle in each compounds depends on presence of lone pair on central atom.

In CH_{4}, there is no lone pair on C atom. So, no lone pair-bond pair repulsion is present here. Hence \angle H-C-H is 109^{0}5^{'}

In NH_{3}, there is one lone pair on N atom. So, one lone pair-bond pair repulsion is present here. Hence \angle H-N-H is 107^{0}

In H_{2}O, there are two lone pairs on O atom. So, two lone pair-bond pair repulsion are present here. Hence \angle H-O-H is 104^{0}5^{'}

So, lone pair-bond pair repulsion is best accounted for decrease in bond angle

During which two minutes time period is the temperature of water changing faster?!
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

2-4 minutes

Explanation:

Fastest changing temperature means larger change in temperature when subtracting final temperature from initial temperature in a given time period (given time period is 2 minutes for all the options)

For 0-2 minutes, our final temperature was 40 (at 2 min) and initial temperature was  20 (at 0 min), thus temperature change was only 20 C.

For 2-4, our final temperature was 80 (at 4 min) and initial temperature was   40 (at 2 min) thus temperature change was 40 C.

For 4-6, our final temperature was 100 (at 6 min) and initial temperature was   80 (at 4 min) thus temperature change was 20 C.

We are not given temperature at 8 min so option D is invalid.

As we can clearly see that in a given 2 minute period, option B has the fastest change because it changed 40C when compared to other options that changed only 20C from starting temperature.

Hope that makes sense.
