Answer:
The electron pair geometry is Trigonal planar
Molecular geometry - Bent
Approximate bond angle - <120°
Explanation:
The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory enables us to predict the shapes of molecules based on the number of electron pairs present on the valence shell of the central atom and based on the hybridization state of the central atom.
sp2 hybridization corresponds to trigonal planar geometry. Let us recall that the presence of lone pairs causes a deviation of the molecular geometry from the expected geometry based on the number of electron pairs.
Hence, owing to one lone pair present, the observed molecular geometry is bent.
Hi Khal75,
Experiment: How to seperate iron fillings
Iron fillings is a substance that attracts to magnets.
Answer - Separated using a magnet; magnetism
If you move a magnet around different solids with the iron fillings in it, it wil attract the iron to be able to seperate it.
Answer:
The population of the long-legged birds decreases.
Explanation:
The population of the short-legged birds increases whereas the population of long-legged birds decreases due to availability of food in that environment. The long-legged birds feed on fish whose population decreases due to drought conditions so the population of long-legged birds also decreases while on the other hand, the population of short-legged birds increases or remain the same because they feed on the insects and the insects are available in large amount and less affected by the drought conditions.
