Explanation:
As the charge of all electrons are equal, the repulsive force exerted by each of them is also going to be equal. So, as K has more electrons repulsing its valence electron than Na, it has greater electron shielding.
Answer:
One positive charge
Explanation:
In a neutral atom, the number of positive and negative particles are equal. This leaves the atom with a net charge of zero, 0.
When the number of protons in an atom is greater than the number of electrons, the atom becomes positively charged. When an atom loses an electron when a bond wants to form, it has a net positive charge.
The number of electrons lost or gained determines the charge.
Answer:
H2O> NH3> CH4
Explanation:
According to valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR), bond angles and repulsion of electron pairs depends on the nature of electron pairs on the central atom of the molecule. Lone pairs cause more repulsion (and distortion of bond angles) than bond pairs). Lone pair- lone pair repulsion is greater than lone pair bond pair repulsion.
Water contains two lone pairs on oxygen hence it experiences the greatest repulsion. Ammonia has only one lone pair on nitrogen hence there is lesser repulsion between lone pairs and bond pairs. Methane possess only bond pairs of electrons hence it has the least repulsion.
The correct option is D.
When dissolving a substance in a solvent, stirring the solution will increased the rate at which the substance dissolved. This is because, when one stirs a solution, it exposes more surface area of the solute to the solvent, thus, increasing the interaction between the solute and the solvent. The higher the quantity of the solute that is exposed to the solvent, the higher the rate of dissolution of the solute.
