What type of wave do the contractions of the snake muscles make as the snake moves forward

1 answer:

3 0

Actually, there are four kinds of reptile motion:

Concertina - vermiform. Circular muscles around the snake squeeze the front of the snake's body out long, then the latter half is pulled forward.

Rectilinear crawling - Belly scutes are moved forward individually in a wave-like motion.

Side-winding - Snake's version of "walking". Use by several species to move over fluidic substrates, such as sand.

Lateral undulation - Most common form of movement. Snake presses on alternating pressure points to force body forward (or backward)

Select the electron-domain geometry for a molecule with three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain.

mamaluj [8]

Answer: C) Tetrahedral

Explanation:

The number of electron pairs is 4 that means the hybridization will be $sp^3$ but as there are three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain, thus electronic geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry will be trigonal pyramidal.

Linear electron geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 2 and the hybridization will be $sp^2$ .

Trigonal planar geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 3 and the hybridization will be $sp^3$ .

Trigonal bipyramidal geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 5 and the hybridization will be $sp^3d$ .

Octahedral geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 6 and the hybridization will be $sp^3d^2$ .
