Answer : The shape and bond angle of the given molecule is, bent and 120^o respectively.

Explanation :

In the given molecule, 'Y' is the central atom and 'X' is the neighboring atom. In the given molecule, there are 4 electron pairs that means the hybridization will be sp^3 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

But as there are two atoms around the central atom, the third and fourth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be bent or angular and the bond angle will be, 120^o.

Hence, the shape and bond angle of the given molecule is, bent and 120^o respectively.

The shape of the given molecule is \boxed{{\text{bent}}}.

The bond angle is \boxed{109^\circ }.

Further explanation

The VSEPR theory is also known as valence shell electron pair repulsion theory. This theory is used to determine the geometry of a central atom or ion. It is based on the repulsion between bond pairs and lone pairs in the valence shell of the central atom.

The {\text{A}}{{\text{X}}_{\text{m}}}{{\text{E}}_{\text{n}}} classification is used to expresses the geometry of the central atom in VSEPR theory. In {\text{A}}{{\text{X}}_{\text{m}}}{{\text{E}}_{\text{n}}} classification, A is a central atom, X is covalent bond, E is the lone pair, m is the total number of covalent bond present on central atom, and n is the total number of lone pair present on the central atom

VSEPR model is employed to predict the shape of compounds with a nonmetal as the central atom.

Bond Angle: Bond Angle is the angle between the two bonds that are attached to same central atom.

Lone Pair: It refers to a pair of valence electrons that that is not shared with another atom.

Molecular Geometry: This is the 3-D arrangement of bonded atoms in a polyatomic ion or molecule.

Electron Pair Geometry: This is the 3-D arrangement of electron pairs around the central atom of a polyatomic ion or molecule.

The main difference between molecular geometry and electron pair geometry is that molecular geometry does not include unpaired electrons, whereas electron pair geometry includes both bonded atoms and unpaired electrons.

In the Lewis structure of the given molecule, Y is the central atom and X is the neighboring atom. As there are only two atoms around the central atom, the remaining position of the central atom will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. So, there are two bond pairs and two lone pairs. The repulsion between lone and bond pairs of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be bent or angular and the bond angle will be 109\;^\circ.

Hence, the shape of the given molecule is, bent and the bond angle is 109\;^\circ. ( Refer to the attached image).

Select the correct image.
masya89 [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

In all the other options either Carbon has more than 4 atoms attached or less than 4.

Carbon can not form more than four bonds. It can only share 4 electrons .

In other option C, No H-atom is linked in the right most Carbon.

whereas according to the definition of Hydrocarbon it should have been a Hydrogen atom.

Determine whether each phrase describes carboxylic acids or esters.
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Carboxylic acids produce hydrogen bonds amongst themselves and possess lower vapor pressure. They generally possess a sour odor. When an acid and a base react with each other to produce salt and water and comprises the combination of hydrogen and hydroxide ions, the reaction is termed the neutralization reaction. Thus, when carboxylic acid reacts with base the reaction is termed neutralization.

On the other hand, esters are known for their pleasant fragrances. They do not produce hydrogen bonds amongst themselves and possess higher vapor pressure. A hydration reaction in which free hydroxide dissociates the ester bonds between the glycerol and fatty acids of a triglyceride, leading to the formation of free fatty acids and glycerol is termed saponification.

Thus, the given blanks can be filled with carboxylic acid, carboxylic acid, esters, esters, esters, and carboxylic acid.

This is 25 points. Pick any of the 6 questions and show how you did it. I just need to see how you do it and get the answer. You
FromTheMoon [43]
I choose question 1, so molarity is the concentration of a soulution expressed as the number of moles of solute by the litress of soulution. to get molarity you divide the moles of soulute by the litress of solution. soo 1 calculate the number of moles of solute present. 2 Calculate the number of litress solution present. 3. divide the number of moles of solute by the number of litress of solution
soo 1 mol of NaOH has a mass of 40.00 g, so moles of NaOH= 26.7. 1 mole divided 40.00 = 0.375. litress of solution = 650 g. im not sure why its a g i usally do it Ls so i guess its the way your teacher wants you to do it so do you know how to do that. so molarity = moles of solute and litress solution. sorry this probably didnt help i just wanted to add something that might help. im still working on this stuff myself hope this helps.
