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 250 ml of water is added to 35 ml of 0.2 M HCl
Paladinen [302]
Assuming that you’re looking for the concentration of water in the solution, then it would be 0.028 M.

You would have to use the formula:
c1v1 = c2v2, where c =concentration and
v = volume

C1 = ?
V1 = 250 mL
C2 = 0.2 M
V2 = 35 mL

C1 x 250 mL = 0.2 M x 35 mL

C1 = (0.2 M x 35 mL) / 250 mL

C1 = 0.028 M of water added to 35mL of 0.2M HCl

Therefore, there is 0.028 M of water added to 35mL of 0.2M HCl
