Answer: D) 1 lone pair, square pyramidal
Explanation:
Formula used : ![\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BNumber%20of%20electrons%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5BV%2BN-C%2BA%5D)
where,
V = number of valence electrons present in central atom = 7
N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom = 5
C = charge of cation = 0
A = charge of anion = 0
Now we have to determine the hybridization of the
molecule.
![\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [7+5+0-0]=6](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BNumber%20of%20electrons%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Ctimes%20%5B7%2B5%2B0-0%5D%3D6)
Bond pair electrons = 5
Lone pair electrons = 6-5 = 1
The number of electrons are 6 that means the hybridization will be
and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be octahedral .
But as there are five atoms around the central iodine atom, the sixth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be square pyramidal.
Answer: orderly arrangement of particles
Explanation:
In a crystaline solid, the particles that compose the solid are arranged or packed in an orderly manner to form a three dimensional crystal lattice with a defined structure. Sodium chloride is a crystaline solid.
In an amorphous solid, the particles that compose the solid aren't arranged in an orderly manner hence the solid tends to be brittle, e.g glass
Single-replacement reaction
