Based on the bond angles in CH4, NH3, and H2O, rank the magnitude of these repulsions. Rank from strongest to weakest repulsion.

To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

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.

What are rotation and revolution and how do they affect Earth?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Rotation refers to an object's spinning motion about its own axis. "Revolution" refers the object's orbital motion around another object. For example, Earth rotates on its own axis, producing the 24-hour day. Earth revolves about the Sun, producing the 365-day year.

Which law states that the volume and absolute temperature of a fixed quantity of gas are directly proportional under constant pr
Delvig [45]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: Charle's Law.

<h2>Why?</h2>

The law that states that the volume and absolute temperature of a fixed quantity of gas (ideal gas) are proportional under constant pressure is the Charle's Law, also known as the law of volumes.

The law describes how a gas kept under constant pressure tends to expand when the temperature increases and it's described by the following equation:

\frac{V}{T}=k

Where,

V=Volume\\T=Temperature\\k=constant

Also, to describe the relationship between two differents volumes at different temperatures, we have:

\frac{V_{i}}{T_{i}}=\frac{V_{f}}{T_{f}}

Where,

V_{i}=InitialVolume\\T_{i}=InitialTemperature\\V_{f}=FinalVolume\\T_{f}=FinalTemperature

Have a nice day!

How is the number of electrons in an element determined?
elixir [45]

The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom can be determined from a set of simple rules. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.
