1. What is the bond angle between the hydrogen atoms in an ammonia (NH3) molecule? 2. What is the bond angle between the oxygen
atoms in the carbon dioxide molecule? 3. What is the molecular geometry of a methane (CH4) molecule?
2 answers:
The answer is 107 degrees. The geometric shape for ammonia is Trigonal Pyramidal, even though its electron geometry is “Tetrahedral”. This is because ammonia has a lone pair of electrons that occupy its space like the other 3 hydrogens in the geometric structure.
The answer 180 degrees. This is because of the linear geometric structure of carbon dioxide. The oxygen atom is on either side of the carbon atom, each is bound by a double covalent bond. All the atoms are involved in the bond and there are no one pair electrons.
The answer is tetrahedral geometry. This is because all the 4 valence electrons of the carbon are involved in a bond with a hydrogen atom. The angles in a tetrahedral geometric arrangement, such as in methane, is 109.5 degrees, where the hydrogen atoms are as far apart, from each other, as possible .

Answer:
The second ball
Explanation:
Both balls are under the effect of gravity, accelerating with exactly the same value. The first ball is dropped, therefore its initial velocity is zero. Since the second ball has horizontal and vertical velocity components, its initial velocity is given by:
The vertical component is zero, however, it has a horizontal velocity, so its initial speed is not zero, therefore the secong ball has the greater speed at ground level.
