Now that we have a background in the Lewis electron dot structure we can use it to locate the the valence electrons of the center atom. The valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory states that electron pairs repel each other whether or not they are in bond pairs or in lone pairs. Thus, electron pairs will spread themselves as far from each other as possible to minimize repulsion. VSEPR focuses not only on electron pairs, but it also focus on electron groups as a whole. An electron group can be an electron pair, a lone pair, a single unpaired electron, a double bond or a triple bond on the center atom. Using the VSEPR theory, the electron bond pairs and lone pairs on the center atom will help us predict the shape of a molecule.
The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons. The electrons and the nuclei settle into positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction. Thus, the molecule's shape reflects its equilibrium state in which it has the lowest possible energy in the system. Although VSEPR theory predicts the distribution of the electrons, we have to take in consideration of the actual determinant of the molecular shape. We separate this into two categories, the electron-group geometry and the molecular geometry.
True because positive and negative ions makes neutral hence the water is neutral
When no ions are produced, or the ion content is low, the solute is a non-electrolyte. Non-electrolytes do not conduct electricity or conduct it to a very small degree. In an aqueous solution a strong electrolyte is considered to be completely ionized, or dissociated, in water, meaning it is soluble
Answer:
Label 2
Explanation:
Earth is about 2/3 of the way up the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy
Electrolytes are those which dissociates in solution and produces ions.
Ions can carry current,so Electrolytes conduct electiricity.
And non electrolytes are those which do not dissociate in solution and doesnt produce ions.
Since non electrolytes do not produce ions they cannot conduct electricity.
<u>Hence the right option is:</u>
B) Non-electrolytes dissolve and do not dissociate in water providing no charged ions to conduct electricity.
