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 package contains 1.33 lb of ground round. If it contains 29% fat, how many grams of fat are in the ground round? The book is s
Effectus [21]

Answer:

To obtain the grams of fat that the ground round has, knowing that it weighs 1.33 pounds we must pass this value to grams. Since 1 pound equals 453.59 grams, 1.33 pounds equals 603.27 (453.59 x 1.33).

Now, to obtain 29 percent of 603.27, we must make the following calculation: 603.27 / 100 x 29, which gives a total of 174.94 grams.

In this way, your reasoning is correct and it is probably a mistake in the book.
