Answer:
Oxygen is more electronegative than sulphur
Explanation:
Bond angle of a molecule is related to the electronegativity of the central atom. The more electronegative the central atom is, the greater the bond angle.
As electronegativity of the central atom increases, the magnitude of bond pair- bond pair repulsion increases leading to increase in bond angle.
Hence, oxygen, being more electronegative than sulphur asserts a greater bond pair- bond pair repulsion leading to a greater bond angle in water.
The s-, p-, and d-block elements of the periodic table are arranged into 18 numbered columns, or groups. The elements in each group have the same number of valence electrons. As a result, elements in the same group often display similar properties and reactivity.
Answer:
im not sure, are you sure?
For Hydrocarbon combustion:
CₓHₐ + O₂ → xCO₂ + a/2 H₂O
Moles of CO₂ = 16.2 / 44 = 0.37
Moles of Carbon = 0.37
Moles of H₂O = 4.976 / 18 = 0.28
Moles of Hydrogen = 0.28 x 2 = 0.56
Molar ratio = C : H = 1 : 1.5
= 2 : 3
C₂H₃
Mass of empirical unit = 12 x 2 + 1 x 3
= 27
Mr = 54.09
Number of empirical units repeated: 54.09 / 27
= 2
Molecular formula = C₄H₆
<span>D.) Oxygen would acquire a stable arrangement of electrons by bonding with two atoms of "Magnesium"
[ As Mg has 2 extra electrons & their size are quite similar ]
Hope this helps!</span>
