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.

If he(g) has an average kinetic energy of 8750 j/mol under certain conditions, what is the root mean square speed of cl2(g) mole
saw5 [17]
<span>The root mean square speed is given by V_rms = âšRT/M where r, t, and m are the rate constant, temperature and molar mass the gas Average molar kinetic energy of the gas E = 1/2 M * (V_rms)^2 = 8750 ms/1 So (V_rms)^2 = (2 * 8750) / M Molar mass of 2 chlorine atoms in kg is 2 * 35 * 10^(-3) Hence we have (V_rms)^2 = (2 * 8750)/ (2 * 35 * 10^(-3)) (V_rms)^2 = 8750/0.035 = 250000 So V_rms = âš 250000 = 500</span>

Suppose you had 2.0158 grams of (H2) how many moles of hydrogen do u have ?
ale4655 [162]
\hbox { You have to calculate the Molecular Mass for H2:}

M_{H2} = 2A _{H2} = 2*1=2 \hbox { grames/mole}

\hbox { So, in 2,0158 grames of H you will have 1 mole...}

Sally and Sue took a canoe trip down the Mississippi River. Their average speed for the trip south was 20 miles/hour. 20 miles/h
Anna35 [415]

C

Speed is the time rate at which Sue covers the distance. It is derived by dividing the total distance covered by the total time taken to cover the distance . Usually SI unit for speed is km/h or mph or m/s.

Explanation:

Speed is also referred to as velocity- so the two are synonymous.

Acceleration is the rate at which speed is increasing. It is usually given by SI unit m/s². The opposite of acceleration is deceleration which is the rate at which speed is decreasing.

Distance is the measurement, in meters of kilometers or miles or yards..etc, that has been covered from one point to another.
