Answer:

CCl4- tetrahedral bond angle 109°

PF3 - trigonal pyramidal bond angles less than 109°

OF2- Bent with bond angle much less than 109°

I3 - linear with bond angles = 180°

A molecule with two double bonds and no lone pairs - linear molecule with bond angle =180°

Explanation:

Valence shell electron-pair repulsion theory (VSEPR theory) helps us to predict the molecular shape, including bond angles around a central atom, of a molecule by examination of the number of bonds and lone electron pairs in its Lewis structure. The VSEPR model assumes that electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom will adopt an arrangement which tends to minimize repulsions between these electron pairs by maximizing the distance between them. The electrons in the valence shell of a central atom are either bonding pairs of electrons, located primarily between bonded atoms, or lone pairs. The electrostatic repulsion of these electrons is reduced when the various regions of high electron density assume positions as far apart from each other as possible.

Lone pairs and multiple bonds are known to cause more repulsion than single bonds and bond pairs. Hence the presence of lone pairs or multiple bonds tend to distort the molecular geometry geometry away from that predicted on the basis of VSEPR theory. For instance CCl4 is tetrahedral with no lone pair and four regions of electron density around the central atom. This is the expected geometry. However OF2 also has four regions of electron density but has a bent structure. The molecule has four regions of electron density but two of them are lone pairs causing more repulsion. Hence the observed bond angle is less than 109°.

Solve for Voltage
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

110V

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Current in the lightbulb  = 0.5A

Resistance  = 220Ω

Unknown:

Voltage  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the equation derived from ohm's law;

          V  = IR

So,

       V = 0.5 x 220  = 110V

Xenon (xe) of mass 5.08 g reacts with fluorine to form 9.49 g of a xenon fluoride compound. what is the empirical formula of thi
jenyasd209 [6]
We are already given with the mass of the Xe and it is 5.08 g. We can calculate for the mass of the fluorine in the compound by subtracting the mass of xenon from the mass of the compound.

  mass of Xenon (Xe) = 5.08 g
  mass of Fluorine (F) = 9.49 g - 5.08 g = 4.41 g

Determine the number of moles of each of the element in the compound. 
    moles of Xenon (Xe) = (5.08 g)(1 mol Xe / 131.29 g of Xe) = 0.0387 mols of Xe
   moles of Fluorine (F) = (4.41 g)(1 mol F/ 19 g of F) = 0.232 mols of F

The empirical formula is therefore,
      Xe(0.0387)F(0.232)
Dividing the numerical coefficient by the lesser number.
