The electron geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral even though the molecular geometry is bent.

As water molecule hybridisation is sp³ that provides it a electron geometry tetrahedral but due to presence of 2 lone pairs and 2 bond pairs its molecular geometry is bent.

The hybridisation sp³ makes  electron geometry of a water molecule tetrahedral but the presence of 2 lone pairs makes its  molecular geometry bent

Answer:

the electron geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral.

Explanation:

There are four pair of electrons on oxygen central atom, these electron pairs are arranged in tetrahedral manner and thus electron geometry is tetrahedral.

The hybridization is sp³ and thus there are four hybridized orbitals,

However there are two bonded electron pairs and two lone pair of electrons.

Thus the two hydrogen atoms are arranged in bent shape.

Why is calcium chloride (rock salt, CaCl2) more effective than sodium chloride (table salt, NaCl) at de-icing roads in the winte
Tema [17]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. Calcium chloride breaks into 3 ions, while sodium chloride only breaks into 2 ions

Explanation:

To help melt the ice on icy streets, calcium chloride (CaCl₂) is a more preferred salt type to sodium chloride (NaCl) as when it dissociates into ions in the ice, it forms three ions: a calcium ion, Ca²⁺, and two chloride ions, 2 Cl⁻, while sodium chloride forms two ions: one sodium ion, Na⁺, and one chloride ion, Cl⁻

According to the freezing point depression equation, we have;

ΔT = K_f × m × i

Where;

ΔT = Change in freezing point temperature

K_f = The freezing point depression constant

m = The solution's molality

i = van't Hoff factor

The calcium chloride salt will cause the most depression because the van't Hoff factor is 3 for calcium chloride and 2 for sodium chloride.

Cells have lots of things to do. Some cells make the whole organism, so that one cell must do everything that organism needs to do to live. Other cells perform specific functions, so they must be designed to do that specific activity.

There you go :) just reword it and try make it into your own words like just switch some sentences around
