Answer:

Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory

Explanation:

VSEPR stands for valence shell electron pair repulsion theory in which helps in predicting the geometric shape of a molecule based upon the number of lone pairs of electrons.

It is also called the Gillespie-Nyholm theory after its two main discoverers, Ronald Gillespie and Ronald Nyholm.

In this theory the lone pair of atoms of the valence shell repel each other and attain such an angular position which minimizes the repulsion between the lone pair of electrons and the bonded pair of electrons so that it attains a stable state.

This theory is however not related to the wave function and the orbital hybridization but is based only upon the electron density.

(Double points) A mechanic used a wrench 0.6 meters long to loosen rusted lug nuts on a truck wheel. By standing on the end of t

Korolek [52]

Answer:

Torque, $\tau=588\ N-m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the wrench, l = 0.6 m

Mass of the wrench, m = 100 kg

We know that the torque applied by mechanic is given by :

$\tau=Fl$

$\tau=mgl$

$\tau=100\times 9.8\times 0.6$

$\tau=588\ N-m$

So, the torque applied by the mechanic is 588 N-m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

there I think the answer is measuring tape we cannot use a metre rule because it measures straight lines and I think measuring tape is better because it is flexible thus makes measurement easier

Three identical train cars, coupled together, are rolling east at speed v0. A fourth car traveling east at 2v0 catches up with t

aliina [53]

Answer: $v_o$

Explanation:

It is given that three cars has same mass m with speed $v_o$

suppose rest two cars also has same mass m

As there is no external force therefore momentum is conserved

Initial Momentum $P_i$

$P_i=3mv_0+m(2v_0)+m\times 0$

Final momentum $P_f$

$P_f=5m\times v$

where v=final velocity

$P_i=P_f$

$5mv_o=5mv$

$v=v_o$

thus final velocity is $v_o$

Using definitions and examples compare chemical and physical changes.

inna [77]

"There are several differences between a physical and chemical change in matter or substances. A physical change in a substance doesn't change what the substance is. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed."
