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.

What is the name for this molecule? 3-heptyne 3-heptene 3-hexyne 3-hexene
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The iupac name of the compound will be hex-3-yne or 3-hexyne. By marking number of carbon in the given compound, it was found that triple bond comes at third position and there are total 6 carbon in the compound. So it will have Hex as a prefix and as it contains triple bond so it will have yne as a suffix and as the triple bond is at third position, so it will be hex-3-yne or 3-hexyne.

Why can stars be called element factories?
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

They came from the element factories we call stars. Stars are mostly hydrogen throughout most of their lifespans. They are driven by massive and continuous thermonuclear reactions and gravity. ... This extra heat begins to fuse helium atoms into heavier elements like carbon and oxygen and gives new life to the star.
