Answer:

A molecule is tetrahedral if the central atom has four bonds and no lone pairs.

Explanation:

A typical example is a molecule of methane (see image).

The electron pairs in the bonds repel the electrons in the other bonds, so they all try to get as far from each other as possible.

They can do this if the bonds point to the corners of a tetrahedron, with bond angles of 109.5°.

Hi, someone knows how to balance the following equation, and if you can thank you if you can explain how that is done:
kari74 [83]
To begin with, the equation given is not correct.
Correct equation is : CaCO3 + HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
It's CaCl2 not CaCl because Ca has a valency of 2 

    LHS                          RHS
CaCO3 + HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
First of all, to balance the equation you must look at the number of atoms on each side of the equation. 
we have 2 H on the RHS and 1 H on the LHS. So, we put a 2 on the LHS

CaCO3 + 2HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
Check for the LHS: 1 Ca, 1 C, 3 O, 2 H & 2 Cl on the LHS
Now check for the RHS: 1 Ca, 2 Cl, 2 H, 1 C & 3 O

Hope it helped!

26 Milkweed contains a poison known as cardenolides. Monarch butterflies eat the milkweed plant and hold on to this toxic compou
Amanda [17]

Cardenolides, with the chemical formula CH₁₈C₂₀H₁₅CHCO₂ have (D) 23 carbon atoms, 34 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms.

Milkweed contains a poison known as cardenolides. The chemical formula for cardenolides CH₁₈C₂₀H₁₅CHCO₂.

The subscripts in the formula represent the atomicities, that is the number of atoms of each element in each part of the formula.

We can calculate the total number of atoms of each element by adding its atomicities.

<h3>Carbon atoms</h3>

C =  1 + 20 + 1 + 1 = 23

<h3>Hydrogen atoms</h3>

H = 18 + 15 + 1 = 34

<h3>Oxygen atoms</h3>

O = 2

Cardenolides, with the chemical formula CH₁₈C₂₀H₁₅CHCO₂ have (D) 23 carbon atoms, 34 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms
