What general principle determines the molecular structure of a molecule?

Chemistry

Ugo [173]3 years ago
7 0
I think the answer would be the number of electron in pairs that is around the central atom. This is the most general principle in determining structure of a molecule. Electrons are the ones responsible in bonding with other atoms. Hope this helped.

Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction:
Burka [1]

Answer:

a0 = 2

a1= 9

a2= 6

a3= 8

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is;

C3H7OH + O2 → CO2 + H2O

To balance the chemical equation we introduce coefficients;

Therefore the balanced chemical equation will be;

2C3H7OH + 9O2 → 6CO2 + 8H2O

Chemical equations are balanced to ensure the law of conservation of mass is obeyed, such that the mass of the reactants is equivalent to that of the products.

Which compound contains both ionic and covalent bonds?
slava [35]
<span>Answer is </span>(3) - Sodium Nitrate.<span>

</span>Normally ionic bonds can be seen between metals and non-metals while covalent bonds present between non-metals. Another thing that determines the bond nature is electronegativity value of the atoms. If the electronegativity difference is high, then that bond tends to be an ionic bond.<span>
 
</span><span>Sodium nitrate consists of </span>Na⁺<span> and </span>NO₃⁻ ions. Hence, the bond between Na⁺ and NO₃⁻<span> is an </span>ionic bond. <span><span>

NO</span>₃⁻ </span><span>is made from </span>N <span>and </span>O<span>. Both are </span>non-metallic atoms. <span>The </span>electronegativities <span>of </span>N <span>and </span>O <span>are </span>3.0 <span>and </span>3.5 <span>respectively. Hence, there is </span>no big difference between electronegativity values (3.5 - 3.0 = 0.5<span>). Hence, the bond between N and O is a </span><span>covalent bond. </span>
