The VSEPR is known as the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory. The VSEPR theory determines the total number of electron pairs (TEP) surrounding the central atom of a species. The TEP consists of the bond pairs (BP) and lone pairs (LP). In this model, all the electron pairs (like charges) will orient themselves in such a way as to minimize the electrostatic repulsion between them. These repulsions determine the geometry of the covalent bonds around the central atom.
In the options given, all the molecules have identical geometry except BH_3. This is as a result of the absence of a lone pair on the BH_3 compound.
Yes; this reaction be spontaneous if coupled with the hydrolysis of ATP.
Explanation;
The reaction converting glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate (energetically unfavorable) can be coupled with the conversion of ATP to ADP (energetically favorable):
Answer: Anna stated that ionic compounds have high melting point and low boiling point. The error in the statement is that ionic compound have low boiling point, instead ionic compounds have high boiling point, because in an ionic compound, the force of attraction working between two ions is very strong and hence the bonds present are very strong, and a lot of energy is needed to break them
