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>

True or false: Atoms and mass are conserved in nature<br> True<br> False
katovenus [111]

Answer:

It’s true

Explanation:

If we account for all reactants and products in a chemical reaction, the total mass will be the same at any point in time in any closed system. ... The Law of Conservation of Mass holds true because naturally occurring elements are very stable at the conditions found on the surface of the Earth.

In each of the three reactions between NaOH and HCl, the sign of q for the water was positive. This means the the sign of q for
Talja [164]

Answer:

This means the the sign of q for the reaction was _NEGATIVE _____ and the reaction was _EXOTHERMIC_____.

Explanation:

In calorimetry, when heat is absorbed by the solution, the q-value of the solution will have a positive value. This means that the reaction will produce heat for the solution to absorb and thus the q-value for the reaction will be negative. This is an exothermic reaction.

Whereas, when heat is absorbed from the solution, the q-value for the solution will have a negative value. This means that the reaction will absorb heat from the solution and so the reaction is endothermic, and q value for the reaction is positive.

So, from the question, since the q-value of water is positive, it means that heat is absorbed by the solution and the reaction will produce a negative value of q and it's an exothermic reaction because the reaction produces heat for the solution.
