Answer:

C. tetrahedron

Explanation:

Silicon tetrabromide (SiBr₄)

Valence electrons of silicon = 4

Valence electrons of bromine = 7  

The total number of the valence electrons  = 4 + 4(7) = 32

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom and duet for the hydrogen in the molecule is complete. So,  the lewis structure is shown in the image below.

Around the central metal atom:-

Number of bond pairs = 4

Number of lone pairs = 0

The formula is AB_4.

<u>According to VSEPR theory, silicon tetrabromide has tetrahedron shape to minimize the repulsions. </u>

We discussed the different types of intermolecular forces in this lesson. Which type would you expect to find in CO2?
g100num [7]

Answer:

Dispersion forces.

Explanation:

CO2 contains dispersion forces, and covalent bonds. It is a linear molecule, and the bond angle of O-C-O is 180 degree. O is more electronegative than C, the C-O contains polar bond with the having negative end pointing towards the O.

CO contains two C-O bonds. They cancel each other out because of the dipoles point in opposite directions. Although, CO2 contains polar bonds, it is known as a nonpolar molecule. So, the only intramolecular forces which CO2 having are London dispersion forces.

If one atom of potassium and one atom of chlorine form an ionic bond, what are the charges of the two ions?
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The answer is the letter A.

Explanation:

It is letter A because of Chlorine needs an electron to have a full shell. So, it will receive a negative one because it is gaining an electron. Potassium lost an electron because the element has to share the electron with Chlorine to balance its properties.

according to the third law if a football player hits another player with an action force of 1500n how much will the reaction for
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The reaction would be 1500n (equal reaction)

Explanation:

This can be explained by Newton's third law of motion which states that for every action (force), there is an opposite and equal reaction. In other words, when two objects or people come in contact, the magnitude of force which they exert on each other is equal and they both feel an equal reaction force.

It doesn't matter whether one of the colliding bodies is of bigger mass than the other.  This Newton's third law of motion is also known as the law of action and reaction.
