Answer:

Square planar.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it can be demonstrated that the central atom Xenon in XeF₄ has a sp³d² hybridization which means that its geometry is likely to be octahedral. Nevertheless Applying by applying the valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) model to in order to minimize the repulsion among lone pairs, bond pairs and lone pair-bond pairs, we we realize repulsion is actually minimized when lone pairs are anti to one another and the fluorine atoms are in equatorial position, for that reason, the corrected and properly exhibited geometry or molecular arrangement of the compound turns out square planar. You can verify it on the attached picture.

Regards.

AgNO3 + NaCl ---> AgCl(s) + NaNO3

find moles of each

mmol = M*V

mmol = 55*1 = 55 mmol of Ag+

mmol = 25 * 1.06 = 26.5 mmol of Cl-

then limitn greactant is Cl

we can produce up to 26.5 mmol of Agcl

What is the potential difference across a light bulb when there is 32 A of current and 8 Ω of resistance from the filament.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

force ε: the increase in potential energy per unit charge provided by the chemical reactions in the battery. And the voltage difference across the light bulb is: ∆V = I R = (0.06 A)(20 Ω) = 1.2 V ▪If we measure the voltage difference across the battery or the light bulb, we will get 1.2 V.

What kind of chemical bond exists between two nitrogen atoms to form nitrogen gas? Is this a strong or weak bond? When a chemica

ira [324]

Answer:

pure covalent bond ( inter atomic bond)

Explanation:

pure covalent exists between atoms of the same kind..two nitrogen atoms have the same electronegativity values hence cancel out making it a pure or non polar covalent bond
