Answer:

Tetrahedral

Explanation:

A molecule has four bonded atoms around a central atom. The central atom does not have any lone pairs of electrons. An example is CCl4, here the central C atom has 4 valence electrons, and the C makes a covalent bond with each of the four Cl atoms. In a C-Cl covalent bond an electron pair is shared. After fur C-Cl bonds C is left with no valence electron, hence there are no lone pair of electrons on C. Each of the four C-Cl bonds is directed towards the four corners of a tetrahedron.

Tetrahedral. like methan ch4 it doesn t have lone pairs of electrons and the bonds are oriented with a 109* 28' angle and a tetrahedron has the angles of 109 degrees so almost the same.

Which of the following is a correct representation of the isotope of sulfur that has 19 neutrons? sulfur-19 sulfur-35 sulfur-16
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

sulfur-35

Explanation:

Sulfur-35 is a radioactive isotope that contains 19 neutrons.

Isotopes are represented with mass numbers. Mass number is the addition of number of proton and number of neutrons.

The number of proton in sulfur = 16

Number of neutron = 19

So, mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                              = 16 + 19

                              = 35

Hence, the correct answer is sulfur-35.

Calculate the number of hydrogen atoms in 33.0 g CH4
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The number of hydrogen atoms is 4.96x10²⁴.

 

Explanation:

The number of atoms can be found with the following equation:

n = N*\eta_{H}

Where:

N: is the Avogadro's number = 6.022x10²³ atoms/mol

η: is the number of moles of hydrogen

n: is the number of hydrogen atoms

First, we need to find the number of hydrogen moles. The number of moles of CH₄ is:

\eta_{CH_{4}} = \frac{m}{M}

Where:

m: is the mass of methane = 33 g

M: is the molar mass of methane = 16.04 g/mol                      

\eta_{CH_{4}} = \frac{33 g}{16.04 g/mol} = 2.06 mol

Now, since we have 4 hydrogen atoms in 1 mol of methane, the number of moles of hydrogen is:

\eta_{H} = 2.06\: mol\: CH_{4}*4 \frac{mol\: H}{mol \: CH_{4}} = 8.24 mol

Hence, the number of hydrogen atoms is:

n = N*\eta_{H} = 6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \: atoms/mol*8.24 mol = 4.96 \cdot 10^{24} atoms

Therefore, the number of hydrogen atoms is 4.96x10²⁴.

I hope it helps you!

What are 5 facts about the enviorment in the Atacama Desert?
Kaylis [27]
The Atacama Desert is a plateau in South America.

Covering a 1,000-kilometre strip of land on the Pacific coast.

West of the Andes mountains. It is the driest non-polar desert in the world. 

In the late 1800s, Chile and Bolivia disputed this land in the Guerra del Pacífico (War of the Pacific) becaue both countries claimed to be rightful owners of this region that.

 During the day, temperatures in the desert can reach around 40º C (104º F).

What intermolecular force involves non polar molecules
Zolol [24]

Dispersion forces are the only type of intermolecular force operating between non-polar molecules, for example, dispersion forces operate between hydrogen (H2) molecules, chlorine (Cl2) molecules, carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules, nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) molecules and methane (CH4) molecules.
