Why is the bond angle in a water molecule less than the bond angle of methane

Chemistry
1 answer:
Annette [7]3 years ago
6 0
The bond angle in the Water Molecule is approx. 104.5 degrees. The methane molecule is approx. 109.5 degrees. The differences, is due to the force from the surrounding molecules and atoms. For example the Lone pairs of electrons.

When a new bond forms in a chemical reaction, what happens?
Kisachek [45]
The answer to this question would be A. Energy is released. 

When a chemical bond is a form, the bond will either suck up energy or produce energy. So, to be precise the energy is not always released but also can be absorbed. In this case, the energy released number will be a minus.

Options B and C is definitely wrong since the bond is formed by an electron, it won't affects neutron/proton.
Option D might be true since the product is made of 2 or more atoms then it would seem larger. But the size of the actual atom won't be increased.

Explanation:

first, we need to find the number of moles

we divide 12.1/22.4=0.54 moles

we multiply the number of moles with the molecular mass 0.54x2=1.08g

What happens to excess heat produced in the muscle during contraction and relaxation
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Calcium is then pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum breaking the link between actin and myosin.

Explanation:

Actin and myosin return to their unbound state causing the muscle to relax. Alternatively relaxation (failure) will also occur when ATP is no longer available.

What is the symbol of an ion with 16 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons? what is the symbol for an ion that has 16 pro-tons,
Goshia [24]

When we go to periodic table, Sulfur is an element that has 16 protons and 16 electrons.

when there is 18 electrons, with number of two electrons more than protons. This makes it an ion and the ion has a -2 charge.

So when there is16 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons the symbol is S⁻².

The neutrons have no charge but they add only mass to the elements. So when there is 16 neutrons, it doesn't change the symbol of ion.
