Answer: Subtract the number of valence electrons(outer most shell electrons) from the atomic number of an atom.

Explanation: The total number of electrons for an atom equals to its atomic number. Electrons are present in different shells. Electrons present in outer most shell(valence shell) are known as valence electrons and rest of the electrons present in inner shells are known as core electrons.

So, to determine the number of electrons we subtract the valence electrons from atomic number.

For example, atomic number of N (nitrogen) is 7. It has 5 valence electrons.

Number of core electrons for N = 7 - 5 = 2

Determine the electron geometry (eg) and molecular geometry (mg) of <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=CH_3%5E%2B" id="TexFormula
Yuri [45]

Answer : The correct option is, (e) eg = trigonal planar, mg = trigonal planar

Explanation :

Formula used  :

\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

The given molecule is, CH_3^+

\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}\times [4+3-1]=3

That means,

Bond pair = 3

Lone pair = 0

The number of electron pair are 3 that means the hybridization will be sp^2 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar.

Hence, the electron geometry (eg) and molecular geometry (mg) of CH_3^+  is, trigonal planar and trigonal planar respectively.

While performing the assays for the LDH kinetics experiment, you will pipet 25ul of 250 ug/ml LDH into 975 ul of assay buffer (T
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

6.25 μg/mL

Explanation:

When a dilution is made, the mass of the solute is conserved (Lavoiser's law), so the mass pipetted will be the mass in the assay. The mass is the concentration (C) multiplied by the volume (V). If the pipet solution is called 1, and the assay 2:

m1 = m2

C1*V1 = C2*V2

C1 = 250 μg/mL

V1 = 25 μL

V2 = 975 μL + 25 μL = 1000 μL (is the final volume of the assay after the addition of LDH)

250*25 = C2*1000

C2 = 6.25 μg/mL
