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).

Answer:

here

Explanation:

FRICTION ADVANTAGES:

a) the soles of are shoes are designed in a way that they create friction and prevent us from slipping and falling.

b) We are capable of writing with a pen due to the friction between the pen and the paper.

FRICTION DISADVANTAGES:

b) Forest fires are caused due to the friction between the trees branches

Adding water to a concentrated stock solution results in the...?
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The solution becomes diluted.

Explanation:

When you add water to a solution, the number of moles of the solvent stays the same while the volume increases. Therefore, the molarity decreases.

Hope this helps!

The base-dissociation constant, kb, for pyridine, c5h5n, is 1.4x10-9 the acid-dissociation constant, ka, for the pyridinium ion,
sp2606 [1]
We are given the base dissociation constant, Kb, for Pyridine (C5H5N) which is 1.4x10^-9. The acid dissociation constant, Ka for the Pyridium ion or the conjugate acid of Pyridine is to be determined. We know from our chemistry classes that:

Kw = Kb * Ka

where Kw is always equal to 1x10^-14

so, to solve for Ka of Pyridium ion, substitute Kb to the equation together with Kw and solve for Ka:

1x10^-14 = 1.4x10^-9 * Ka
solve for Ka

Ka = 7.14x10^-6 

Therefore, the acid dissociation constant of Pyridinium ion is 7.14x10^-6.

Which of the follow describes what happpens to the kinetic energy of water when it changes from the solid state to a liquid stat
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Kinetic energy increases.

Explanation:

In a solid, molecules do not have much room to move. They are very slow moving, which means that kinetic energy is low. In a liquid, molecules have more room to move. They are able to move faster than a solid, which means that kinetic energy is low.

From greatest to lowest kinetic energy:

gas, liquid, solid
