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>

How many photons are produced in a laser pulse of 0.364 J at 477 nm?
Luda [366]

Answer:

1.00 × 10¹⁸

Explanation:

1. Calculate the <em>energy of one photon</em>

The formula for the energy of a photon is

<em>E</em> = <em>hc</em>/λ  

<em>h</em> = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s; <em>c</em> = 2.998 × 10⁸ m·s⁻¹

λ = 477 nm = 477 × 10⁻⁹ m                              Insert the values

<em>E</em> = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ × 2.998× 10⁸)/(477 × 10⁻⁹)

<em>E</em> = 4.165× 10⁻¹⁹ J

2. Calculate the <em>number of photons</em>

Divide the total energy by the energy of one photon.

No. of photons = 0.418 × 1/4.165 × 10⁻¹⁹      

No. of photons = 1.00 × 10¹⁸

What’s the connection between population and limiting factors?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Limiting factors are resources or other factors in the environment that can lower the population growth rate. Limiting factors include a low food supply and lack of space. Limiting factors can lower birth rates, increase death rates, or lead to emigration.

Which two statements describe what happens to the nuclei of atoms during a fusion reaction? O A. Large nuclei break apart into t
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

D. Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.

B. A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to energy

Explanation:

A nuclear fusion, in contrary to fission, is the process by which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a much larger atom with a large nuclei. Likewise, during a fusion reaction, a large amount of energy is released from the small amount of mass in the nuclei (two) that combines.

According to this question, the following are true of a fusion reaction:

- Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.

- A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to enormous energy.
