What geometry does VSEPR predict for the central atom in NCl3

Chemistry
1 answer:
Archy [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Tetrahedral electron geometry and trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.

Explanation:

The Lewis structure is shown in Figure 1.

The central N atom has three bonding pairs and one lone pair, for <em>four electron groups</em>.

VSEPR theory predicts a tetrahedral electron geometry with bond angles of 109.5°.

We do not count the lone pair in determining the molecular shape.

The molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal (see Figure 2).

Food molecules contain biochemical energy which is made available by
Juliette [100K]

Food molecules contain biochemical energy which is made available by a process called respiration.

 Respiration is the process within cells by which living things break down food chemicals in their bodies and use them as a source of energy.

The proteins, lipids and polysaccharides that make up most of the food we eat must be broken down into smaller molecules before our cells can use them either as a source of energy or as building blocks for other molecules. This process is named catabolism and occurs in 3 stages.

Stage 1 is the enzymatic breakdown of food molecules in the digestion process  into their monomer subunits- amino acids, glucose and glycerol.

Stage 2 is the process of glycolysis where each molecule of glucose is converted to pyruvate.

Stage 3 is production of ATP,  the form of energy needed by the body to function. This stage takes place in the mitochondria of the cells. ATP is produced from conversion of pyruvate to acetylCoA in a process called the Citric Acid Cycle.
