B. the shape of a molecule determines its properties and interactions
Answer:
bent
Explanation:
The molecular formula of sulfur dioxide is written as SO₂
The molecular geometry of sulfur dioxide can be determined using the Lewis structure.
The Lewis structure shows the distribution of electrons around the atoms of a given compound such as sulfur dioxide (SO₂).
In this compound, sulfur is the central atom with 6 valence electrons.
The sulfur is bonded covalently with two oxygen atoms, each with 6 valence electrons. Oxygen contributes 2 lone pairs while sulfur which is the central atom contributes 1 lone pair of electrons in the bond.
The bond angle between the two oxygen atoms and the central sulfur atom is approximately 120⁰, as a result of the bent shape of the molecular structure.
Answer:
Metals have high densities, high melting points, are malleable and ductile, and can conduct heat and electricity.
Hope this helps as well! :)
1) As carbon dioxide changes from solid state to gaseous state, the particles gain energy and move faster.
The molecule of CO2 gain energy which results in greater separation of each other and freer and faster movement
2) When a substance undergoes a change of state its mass does not change
