Answer: C) Tetrahedral

Explanation:

The number of electron pairs is 4 that means the hybridization will be $sp^3$ but as there are three bonding domains and one nonbonding domain, thus electronic geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry will be trigonal pyramidal.

Linear electron geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 2 and the hybridization will be $sp^2$ .

Trigonal planar geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 3 and the hybridization will be $sp^3$ .

Trigonal bipyramidal geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 5 and the hybridization will be $sp^3d$ .

Octahedral geometry is possible when number of electron pairs is 6 and the hybridization will be $sp^3d^2$ .

Given the chemical formulas of the following compounds, name each compound and state the rules you used to determine each name.

Svetlanka [38]

When naming an ionic compound, write the name of the cation, which is the metal first. Then, write the name of the anion, which is the nonmetal. However, you remove the last 2-3 letters and replace suffixes.

1. RbF --> Rubidium Fluoride
Change fluorine to fluoride
2. CuO --> Copper (II) Oxide
Change oxygen to oxide. Oxide has a charge of -2. Since no subscripts are written, it means they have the same opposite charge. So, we use Copper (II).
3. (NH₄)₂C₂O₄ ---> Ammonium Oxalate
NH₄ is ammonia, but we change it to ammonium for polyatomic ions.

Some growth regulators are useful to farmers and gardeners. O True O False

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The first artificial use of a PGR was to stimulate the production of flowers on pineapple plants. They are now used widely in agriculture. Plant hormones are also used in turf management to reduce the need to mow, to suppress seedheads, and to suppress other types of grass.

The polymerization of amino acids produces:

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Proteins

Explanation:

Polymerization, in chemistry, is the chemical combination of monomeric units to form a polymer. Polymers are large molecules made up of smaller units called monomers. Amino acids are the monomeric units of proteins i.e. A protein is made up of of many amino acids joined together.

Therefore, the chemical combination of amino acids will form a peptide bond between the carbon atom of the acid group and nitrogen atom of the amine group in the structure of the amino acids. This is done by the loss of a water molecule. The continuous repetition of this polymerization process will form a chain called polypeptide, which is the PROTEIN.

Define an Arrhenius base and describe properties of bases. Use an example to explain how an Arrhenius base will behave in water.

frozen [14]

An Arrhenius base is a molecule that when dissolved in water will break down to yield an $OH^-$ or hydroxide ion in solution.

<h3>What is Arrhenius base?</h3>

An Arrhenius base is a compound that increases the $OH^-$ ion concentration in aqueous solution.

An Arrhenius base is a substance that, when dissolved in an aqueous solution, increases the concentration of hydroxide, or , $OH^-$ ions in the solution.

Bases Properties

Arrhenius bases that are soluble in water can conduct electricity.

Bases often have a bitter taste and are found in foods less frequently than acids. Many bases, like soaps, are slippery to the touch.

Bases also change the colour of indicators. Red litmus turns blue in the presence of a base (see figure below), while phenolphthalein turns pink.

Some bases react with metals to produce hydrogen gas.

Acids (pH < 7.0) react with bases (pH > 7.0) to produce a salt and water. When equal moles of an acid and a base are combined, the acid is neutralized by the base. The resulting mixture will have a more neutral pH.

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydrogen ions or protons. In other words, it increases the number of $H^+$ ions in the water. In contrast, an Arrhenius base dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions $OH^-$ .

Example, sodium hydroxide, is added to an aqueous solution. NaOH dissociates into sodium, $Na^+$ , and hydroxide, $OH^-$ ions.
