Answer:

Correct option: a (tetrahedral)

Explanation:

According to VSEPR theory tetrahedral arrangement comes when central atom have four electrons pair in the valence shell and only in this arrangement  electron pair will fell less repulsion that is why it is arranged in this way and VSEPR theory electrons pair are arranged in such a manner that they fell less repulsion.

they might have different number of bond pair and lone pair that depens on the number of bonded to other atom.

Hence opion a is correct.

When Elsa freezes things, is it an example of an exothermic or<br> endothermic reaction? Explain.
Reika [66]

Answer:

endothermic reaction

Explanation:

When Elsa from Frozen freezes things, it is an example of an endothermic chemical reaction.

An endothermic involves a reaction in which heat is absorbed from the surrounding. Hence the surrounding becomes colder at the end of the the change.

So, Elsa draws heat from the environment and this causes the environment to be colder and things that are in contact with her.
