in carbon dioxide gas, the carbon atom forms two double bonds. what will the geometry of the bonds be

Chemistry
1 answer:
Fudgin [204]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Linear geometry

Explanation:

  • In carbon dioxide, the carbon atom forms two double bonds. Each double bond is a group, hence there are two electron groups around the central atom.
  • <u><em>With two bonding pairs on the central atom and no lone pairs, the molecular geometry of CO2 is linear.</em></u>
  • The linear arrangement places the groups 180 degrees apart and it minimizes the repulsion in the molecule,

The shape of a protein molecule resembles _____.
emmainna [20.7K]

The shape of a protein molecule resembles BEADS ON A STRING.

Proteins are macro molecules that are formed from amino acids. There are different types of amino acids, thus, different amino acids combine together to form different types of protein. This means that, proteins are formed from sequences of amino acids; they are long chains of different amino acids, that is why, they are likened to beads on string.

The structures of proteins are in three dimensions, they are primary, secondary and tertiary structures. The primary structure refers to the sequence of the amino acids in a protein. The amino acids in the primary structure are linked together by peptide bonds.

Draw the best Lewis structure for CH 3 -1. What is the formal charge on the C?
djyliett [7]

Answer :  The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, CH_3^{-1}

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and hydrogen has '1' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CH_3^{-1} = 4 + 3(1) + 1 = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge on carbon atom.

Formula for formal charge :

\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}

\text{Formal charge on C}=4-2-\frac{6}{2}=-1

The formal charge on the C is, (-1) charge.

The unknown ionic compound gave a red flame test, NR with ammonium carbonate, and a red/orange halide test. What is the unknown
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, however, the unknown compound can be inferred to be "Lithium Bromide"

Explanation:

The unknown compound firstly is said to be an ionic compound. An ionic/electrovalent compound is a compound in which it's constituent ions transfer/receive electron(s). They are mostly made of group 1 and group 7 elements. Examples include NaCl, NaF, LiF and KCl.

Also, the ion (metallic ion) that produces a red flame test colour in a flame test is the <u>Lithium ion (Li⁺).</u> Also, when dissolved in water or hexane, the only halogen that produces a red/orange colour is bromine. Hence, the unknown ionic compound can be inferred to be Lithium Bromide.
