Electronegativity is the measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. In the periodic table, electronegativity increase across the period because the charges on the nucleus increase. The correct arrangement for the atoms given above is as follows
Flourine and Francium
Chlorine and Cesium
Nitrogen and Sodium
Phosphorus and Lithium
Nitrogen and Sulphur.
Answer:
- increasing use of hybrid crops
- altering genes in DNA to create new plants
- developing disease or pest resistant crops
Explanation:
The use of genetic factors to influence the growth of a plant encompasses manipulating the genetic constituent (gene) of such plant.
For example,
- Increasing use of hybrid crops entails mating two pure bred plants based on a gene of interest responsible for a particular trait, to form a hybrid.
- Altering genes in DNA to create new plants is also a genetic factor as it has to with gene modification.
- developing disease or pest resistant crops means that the genetic make up of such plant has been modified to be resistant to pest/disease.
The answer is 107 degrees. The geometric shape for ammonia is Trigonal Pyramidal, even though its electron geometry is “Tetrahedral”. This is because ammonia has a lone pair of electrons that occupy its space like the other 3 hydrogens in the geometric structure.
The answer 180 degrees. This is because of the linear geometric structure of carbon dioxide. The oxygen atom is on either side of the carbon atom, each is bound by a double covalent bond. All the atoms are involved in the bond and there are no one pair electrons.
The answer is tetrahedral geometry. This is because all the 4 valence electrons of the carbon are involved in a bond with a hydrogen atom. The angles in a tetrahedral geometric arrangement, such as in methane, is 109.5 degrees, where the hydrogen atoms are as far apart, from each other, as possible .
