Answer:

H2O> NH3> CH4

Explanation:

According to valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR), bond angles and repulsion of electron pairs depends on the nature of electron pairs on the central atom of the molecule. Lone pairs cause more repulsion (and distortion of bond angles) than bond pairs). Lone pair- lone pair repulsion is greater than lone pair bond pair repulsion.

Water contains two lone pairs on oxygen hence it experiences the greatest repulsion. Ammonia has only one lone pair on nitrogen hence there is lesser repulsion between lone pairs and bond pairs. Methane possess only bond pairs of electrons hence it has the least repulsion.

A large crystal of potassium magnet is placed in the bottom of a beaker with cold water and left for several hours
icang [17]

Answer:

Diffusion and Dispersion.

Explanation:

The two processes that took place in the given experiment are Diffusion and Dispersion.

When a crystal of potassium magnet is added placed in the bottom of a beaker which contains cold water, after 5 minutes the particles of potassium magnet will diffuse with water through diffusion process and the colour of water turns purple.

After few hours, the colour of solution goes light purple because the tiny particles which were diffused earlier will dispersed in the water and the particles will spread and make the solution lighter in colour.

Hence, the two processes are Diffusion and Dispersion.
