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.

What is minimum volume of oxygen required to react with 42.5 g of aluminum in the synthesis of aluminum oxide at stp?
natka813 [3]
<span>26.833 liters

Aluminum oxide has a formula of Al</span>₂O₃,<span> which means for every mole of aluminum used, 1.5 moles of oxygen is required (3/2 = 1.5).

Given 42.5 g of aluminum divided by its atomic mass (26.9815385) gives 1.575 moles of aluminum.

Since it takes 1.5 moles of oxygen per mole of aluminum to make aluminum oxide, you'll need 2.363 moles of oxygen atoms.

Each molecule of oxygen gas has 2 oxygen atoms, so the moles of oxygen gas will be 2.363/2 = 1.1815

Finally, you need to calculate the volume of </span>1.1815 <span>moles of oxygen gas.
1 mole of gas at STP occupies 22.7 liters of volume. Therefore,

1.1815 * 22.7 = </span>26.8 liters <span>of oxygen gas.

During fusion _____. hydrogen atoms are split apart U-235 atoms are created helium atoms are created uranium atoms are fused tog
musickatia [10]
The correct answer is the second option. During fusion, uranium atoms are fused together. Fusion reaction happens when two or more nuclei combine or collide to form an element with a higher atomic number. In this process, some of the matter of the fusing nuclei is converted to energy.
