The correct answer is C. square planar
According to the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory(VSEPR), The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs in the molecule.
VSEPR theory was first coined by Gillespie and Nyhlom in 1957 as an improvement over the Sidgwick - Powell theory.
According to this theory, the shape of a molecule is determined by the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule. The electron pairs are positioned as far apart in space as possible to minimize repulsion of electron pairs.
However, the presence of lone pairs distorts the shape anticipated for the molecule on the basis of VSEPR.
For a molecule having six electron pairs, an octahedral geometry is expected(electron domain geometry). However, the presence of two lone pairs which are positioned at opposite side of the four single bonds leads to an observed square planar molecular geometry.

Answer:
The carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from power plants each year doesn't have to go into the atmosphere. Researchers are optimistic that within the next decade we will be able to affordably capture CO2 waste and convert it into useful molecules for feedstock, biofuels, pharmaceuticals, or renewable fuels.
Answer:
no
Explanation:
"Alkali metals are among the most reactive of all metals, which makes them suitable for specific and limited uses.
Alkali metals include lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium and francium. These metals have large atomic radii and generally lose electrons during reactions. "

Answer:
When writing equation the mass on left side of equation must be equal to the mass on right side. True
Explanation:
The chemical reactions always follow the law of conservation of mass.
Law of conservation of mass:
According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.
Explanation:
This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
For example:
In photosynthesis reaction:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass because total mass is equal on both side of equation.
METALS ARE MAGNETIC(and maybe metalloids)
