Answer:
- the central atom is usually the atom with the lowest subscript in the molecular formula and the atom that can form the most bonds. If all of the atoms usually form the same number of bonds, the least electronegative atom is usually the central atom.
- molecular shape (the shape that a single molecule has) is important in determining how the molecule interacts and reacts with other molecules. Molecular shape also influences the boiling point and melting point of molecules. If all molecules were linear then life as we know it would not exist.
a. W = 0 J
b. W = - 308.028 J

Given
Nitrogen gas expands in volume from 1.6 L to 5.4 L
Required
The work done
Solution
Isothermal :
W = -P . ΔV
Input the value :
a. At a vacuum, P = 0
So W = 0
b. At pressure = 0.8 atm
W = - 0.8 x ( 5.4 - 1.6)
W = -3.04 L.atm ( 1 L.atm = 101.325 J)
W = - 3.04 x 101.325
W = - 308.028 J
Using the specific heat capacity formula:
q = mc ∆ t
60.0 J = (6g)(x)(11*C)
x = 0.9 J/g*C

The term isoelectronic atoms means that if the given atoms are neutral, they would have the same number of electrons, which is relative to their sizes. Ions with positive charges are called cations, losing electrons. On the other hand, ions with negative charges are called anions, gaining electrons. The more electrons that the atoms have, the bigger it is in size. Hence, the arrangement of the radii of the atoms would have to be,
e²⁺, d⁺, c , b⁻, a⁻
The arrangement is from smallest to largest.
