Explain why bond angle of H2O is greater than OF2

It's only a small difference (103 degrees versus 104 degrees in water), and I believe the usual rationalization is that since F is more electronegative than H, the electrons in the O-F bond spend more time away from the O (and close to the F) than the electrons in the O-H bond. That shifts the effective center of the repulsive force between the bonding pairs away from the O, and hence away from each other. So the repulsion between the bonding pairs is slightly less, while the repulsion between the lone pairs on the O is the same -- the result is the angle between the bonds is a little less.

Hope this helps!

A bacterium is in a nasty environment. What sort of reproduction would it use in this situation? Why? How else would it protect
lana [24]

The bacteria in nasty environment undergoes multiple fission.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The bacteria is a unicellular prokaryotic organisms that are found in each and every places of the world. They can survive in extremes of temperatures and pH. They can save themselves through special processes in the extreme climates.

The bacteria undergoes multiple fission in these climates. They cover themselves up with a strong and tough capsule inside which they undergo several Binary fissions. This leads to the formation of multiple cells enclosed with a capsule.

With the return of the favourable climate, the capsule rupture and these newly formed cells come out.

Calculate the percent mass of sugar in mountain dew: The total mass of the mountain dew solution is 300g and there are 231 g of
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

c. 77 %

Explanation:

Percent mass (% mass) of solute = mass of solute/mass of solution × 100

According to this question, a mountain dew solution weighing 300grams contains 231 g of sugar. This means that:

% mass of sugar = 231g/300g × 100

% mass of sugar = 0.77 × 100

% mass of sugar = 77%.
