Answer: 2 lone pairs, square planar
Explanation:
Using the VSEPR ( Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion)Theory
To calculate the number of lone pairs electron can be done using the formula;
Number of electrons = ½ (V+N-C+A)
V mean valency of the central atom
N means number of monovalent bonding atoms
C means charge on cation
A means charges on anion
Therefore, to calculate the number of lone pair electron C=A=0;
Number of electrons = ½ (8+4) = 12/2 = 6
Number of bonding pair = 4
Number of lone pairs of electron = 6-4 = 2
The hybridrization of the compound is sp3d2 because the number of electrons around the central atom is 6.
The geometry of the compound is square planar and this is because of the repulsion between the bonding pair of electrons and lone pair of electrons which causes the lone pair of electrons to lie in a perpendicular plane in order to acquire stability.
Answer:
Explanation:
When going from top to bottom in any group of the periodic table, the atomic radius always tends to increase
Answer:
mass = 508 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of Cu = 8 mol
Mass in gram = ?
Solution:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Molar mass of Cu is 63.5 g/mol.
Now we will put the values in formula.
8 mol = mass /63.5 g/mol
mass = 63.5 g/mol
×8 mol
mass = 508 g
F and O
because they are more reactive than Cl
Think of it this way,
Mix Iron and sulphur in a bowl. How do you separate them? Use a magnet right. Yes.
Now, mix the iron and sulphur together but know, heat them up. Let them cool for a while. After that, use a magnet to separate. You cant. This is because the compound (FeS) now has a different property from its original components.
Apply this theory onto salts.
