Answer:
<u>One lone-Pair is present in Ammonia</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
The number of valence electron in N = 5
The number of Valence electron in H = 1
The formula of ammonia = NH3
Total valence electron in ammonia molecule = 5 +3(1) = 5+3 = 8
The lewis structure suggest that :
Nitrogen completes its octet by sharing the electron pair with 3 hydrogen atoms.
3 electron of Nitrogen are involved in sharing with Hydrogen
So,<u><em> remaining two electron are left non-bonded</em></u> . Hence they exist as lone- pair
So, there is only 1 lone pair in the ammonia molecule .
The shape of NH3 is bent according to VSEPR theory . This is so because the presence of 1 lone pair causes more repulsion and occupy more space.
Thus the lone pair is changing the shape of the ammonia molecule . It also increase the dipole moment of the molecule , which gives polarity to it.
Explanation:
Balloon that an ocean diver takes to a pressure of 202 k Pa will get reduced in size that is the volume of the balloon will get reduced. This is because pressure and volume of the gas are inversely related to each other.
According to Boyle's law: The pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature(in Kelvins).
(At constant temperature)
The pressure beneath the sea is 202 kPa and the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa . This increase in pressure will result in decrease in volume occupied by the gas inside the balloon with decrease in size of a balloon. Hence, the size of the balloon will get reduced at 202 kPa (under sea).
