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.

<span>Answer: a mixture.


</span><span>Justification:</span>
<span /><span>
</span><span>1) Pure substances have a definite chemical formula: the same kind of atoms with the same fixed ratios and chemical bonds. Therefore, the percents of each element do not varye.

2) Elements and compounds are pure substaces. For example, Fe, Mg, Ti, are elements, and CO₂, CO, H₂CO₃ are compounds. Each of them will have always the same kind of atoms, in the same ratio and with the same chemcial bonds. Therefore the percents of the elements do not varye.
</span><span />

<span>3) Mixtures are formed by the physical combination (not chemical bonds) of different elements or compounds in variable proportions. As indicated, this describes the material bronze, in virtue of the variation of its composition. Other examples of mixtures are solutions (like brines), air, ocean water, and milk: different brines, different oceans and different milk have different contents of elements or compounds.
