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.

You have 4.872 x 1034 atoms of Copper. How many moles is this?
ivolga24 [154]

 the moles of copper  is   8.093   x10^10  moles


<u><em>calculation</em></u>

The moles of copper   is calculated using the Avogadro's constant.

That  is According to Avogadro's law    

                                 1  mole  = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

                                   ? moles = 4.872 x10^34 atoms

by  cross multiplication

=[( 1  mole  x 4.872 x10^34 atoms) / 6.02 x10^23  atoms]

      = 8.093 x10^10  moles
