Answer:

Electron domains in the valence shell of an atom will arrange themselves so as to minimize repulsions

Explanation:

In accordance with VSEPR theory, the electron domains or electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule always position themselves as far apart in space as possible in order to minimize repulsions.

Recall that according to VSEPR theory, the shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs or electron domains on the valence shell of the central atom of the molecule, both lone pairs and bond pairs. Lone pairs are known to cause more repulsions than bond pairs.

Can someone Summarize how the suns gravity affects the planets please.
egoroff_w [7]

The sun's gravity pulls the planet toward the sun, which changes the straight line of direction into a curve. This keeps the planet moving in an orbit around the sun. Because of the sun's gravitational pull, all the planets in our solar system orbit around it.

Calculate the lattice energy for NaF (s) given the following
san4es73 [151]

Answer: E

Explanation:

The lattice energy is the energy change when one mole of a crystal is formed from its components ions in its gaseous sate

Therefore lattice energy = heat of Sublimation+ ionization energy +electron affinity-(heat of formation)

Therefore lattice Energy =     109 +495 -328 +570.

Lattice energy = --923kjmol-1
