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>

A. what is the hybridization of the central atom in cse2?
elixir [45]

The orbital hybridization of the central carbon atom in CSe2 is sp.

In chemical bonding, atomic orbitals may be combined to form appropriate hybrid orbitals suitable for bonding. The orbitals that combine during hybridization must be close enough in energy.

In the compound Cse2, carbon is the central atom bonded to two selenium atoms. The carbon atom in CSe2 is sp hybridized.

likoan [24]

Answer:

The smell of a chocolate is from the presence of volatile compounds present in the chocolate bar which at room temperature readily changes phase from solid to liquid to vapor or gas

Explanation:

There are nearly 600 identified compounds present in a chocolate bar and out of these, there are volatile components which gives the chocolate bar its distinctive aroma.

These volatile chocolate contents readily change phase from solid to vapor, with very short duration liquid phase.

For example, 3 methylbutanal, vanillin, and several organic compounds which are known to be readily volatile.

Write the Noble Gas Notation for Silicone
ozzi

Answer:

[Ne] 3s2 3p2

Explanation:

Neon (Ne) is the noble gas right before silicon (Si).

Then right after neon is the 3s subshell. It has two electrons and is full.

After 3s comes the 3p subshell, and silicon only has two electrons in the 3p subshell (you can just count the electrons in each subshell on your periodic table).
