Answer: d. smaller.
Explanation:
Hybridization :
![N=\frac{1}{2}[V+N+A-C]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=N%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5BV%2BN%2BA-C%5D)
N = number of electrons
where, V = number of valence electrons present in central atom i.e. oxygen = 6
N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom=32
C = charge of cation = 0
A = charge of anion = 0
The number of electrons is 4 that means the hybridization will be 
and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral. The bond angle for tetrahedral geometry is 
But as there are two atoms around the central oxygen, the third and fourth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be bent and the bond angle will be smaller than expected and is 
The correct answer is:
C. valence.
Explanation:
The valence or valency of an element is a stratagem of its connecting power with other atoms when it makes chemical compounds or molecules.
A valence electron is an outer shell electron that is connected with an atom, and that can compete in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond provide one valence electron in order to form a shared pair
Answer:
7.69x
Explanation:
The ionization is the energy necessary to transform an atom in an anion. So, it's the energy it requires to gain an electron.
This ionization occurs for the photoelectric effect - the emission of electrons by metal using photons. So, if the efficiency is 100%, 1 photon can ionize 1 atom, but for an effficiency of 13.0%:
N = 
N = 7.69x
Where N is the number of photons.
