Answer:
The molecule has a bent geometry
Explanation:
Let us look again at the principles of VSEPR theory. The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.
Lone pairs distort the molecular geometry away from what is expected on the basis of VSEPR theory.
The molecule described in the question has the form AEX2. Two substituents and one lone pair form three electron domains around the central atom. The expected geometry is trigonal planar but the observed molecular geometry is bent because of the lone pairs present.
Answer:
The kind of ionic compound formed is MX2.
Explanation:
Element X electron configuration is represented as [core] ns2np5. The group in the periodic table this element belong to is group 7A. The element group is called the halogen family. Element X cannot be stated specifically, because the number is represented with n. Element X will behave as an anions when it react with a metal(cations). Element X has a charge of -1. The element X will gain electron when it bond with a metal. Element X is a non metal . Elements in this group are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine , astatine, and tennessine . The element X have 7 valency electrons.
Element M electronic configuration is represented as [core]ns2. The group in the periodic table this element belong to is group 2A . The element group is called the alkaline earth metals family . Element M will behave as a cation when it bond with a non metal. Element M is a metal , therefore it will likely lose electron to form cations during bonding . The charge of element M is 2+. Element M is positively charged. Elements that belong to this group includes beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium. Element M has 2 valency electrons.
The reaction between this 2 ions will likely form an ionic compound . The element M is the cations while the element X is the anions. The element M will lose 2 electron while 2 atoms of element X will gain 2 electrons.Element M will lose 2 electron to attain a stable configuration while 2 atoms of element X will gain a single electron each to attain a stable configuration.
M²+ and F- . This will form MX2 when you cross multiply the charge. The kind of ionic compound formed is MX2.
The answer to this question is 5
Answer:
1.6 grams
Explanation:
We need to prepare 100 mL (0.100 L) of a 0.10 M CuSO₄ solution. The required moles of CuSO₄ are:
0.100 L × 0.10 mol/L = 0.010 mol
The molar mass of CuSO₄ is 159.61 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 0.010 moles is:
0.010 mol × (159.61 g/mol) = 1.6 g
We should use 1.6 grams of CuSO₄.
