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 $sp^3d^2$ .

An air mass usually forms in an area of _____. low pressure because it's stable low pressure because it's unstable high pressure

horsena [70]

Answer: high pressure because it's stable

Explanation:

Air mass is volume of air which has stable temperature, humidity and pressure horizontally. Over time, each air mass acquires properties of the region by residing over same part of a surface.

Areas of low pressure and high pressure occur where there is warm air and cold air respectively. An air mass usually forms over an area of high pressure. Warm air rises up and cold air takes its place. Warm air has low density and low pressure where as cold air has high density and pressure and therefore, sinks to the bottom. This is a stable condition. The movement of air mass is responsible for maintenance of temperature conditions on Earth.

Describe three different scenarios where a chemical process or reaction shows an increase in entropy.

Jet001 [13]

The request is characterized as knowing where things are and having the capacity to discover and utilize the things.
In a compound procedure, there is more issue, more entropy when the particles
1. warm up, increment in temperature. The atoms are more disorganized
2. get stirred up and must be isolated with exertion. Bedlam.
3. state changes, dissolves, vaporizes. The atoms are more turbulent
4. respond to frame a pack of various particles. More disorder
