Answer:

Hydrolysis.

Explanation:

During generation of energy, there is breaking of phosphate bond in the ATP. This breaking of bond is a hydrolysis reaction.

The ATP undergoes hydrolysis, energy is released, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate.

Which of the following compounds most likely has the least bond energy?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

I2; I–I bond length = 266 pm

Explanation:

Bond length is inversely related to bond strength. The longer the bond length, the weaker the bond. The shorter the bond length the stronger the bond. A large bond distance implies that there is poor interaction between the atoms involved in the bond. A long bond distance or bond length may even indicate the absence of covalent interaction between the atoms involved.

A molecule in which the central atom forms three single bonds and has one lone pair is said to have a ________ shape.

nignag [31]

Answer : The correct option is, (c) pyramidal

Explanation :

As we are given that a molecule in which the central atom forms three single bonds and has one lone pair that means the central metal atom has 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons.

There are total 4 electron pairs. So, the hybridization will be $sp^3$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

But as there are three atoms or bonds around the central atom and the fourth position occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be pyramidal.

Hence, correct option is, (c) pyramidal
