hope it helpsss

This repulsion is stronger than the repulsion between the lone pair and the three bond pairs on the nitrogen atom. Since the repulsions on the bond pairs in H2O molecule are greater than that in NH3, the bond angle in water is less than that of ammonia.also thats the reaso why ammonia has hig bond angle than water.

What is the condition of water in the hydrosphere right now?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

A planet's hydrosphere can be liquid, vapor, or ice. On Earth, in the places at the north and south pole, water exists in ice or glacier form, in the atmosphere it exists in vapor form and liquid water exists on the surface in the form of oceans, lakes and rivers. It also exists below ground as groundwater, in wells and aquifers. Water collects in clouds, then falls to Earth in the form of rain or snow,

draw the lewis structure for CO2, H2CO3, HCO3-, and CO3 2-.Rank these in order of increasing attraction to water molecules. Expl

Answer:

The structures are attached in file.

Hydrogen bonding and intermolecular forces is the reason for ranks allotted.

Explanation:

In determining Lewis structure, we calculate the overall number of valence electrons available for bonding. Making carbon (the least electronegative atom) the central atom in the structure, we allocate valence electrons until each atom has achieved stability.

In order of decreasing affinity to water molecules:

$CO_{3}^{2-} > HCO_{3} ^{2-} > H_{2} CO_{3}$

This is due to the fact that the $CO_{3}^{2-}$ will accept protons more readily than the bicarbonate ion, $HCO_{3} ^{2-}$ . Carbonic acid, $H_{2} CO_{3}$ will not accept any more protons, hence it is the least attractive to water molecule, even though soluble.
