Explanation:
the lone pairs will be negatively charged. these have a repulsion effect on other negatively charged electrons in the shells of atoms. picture a water molecule: the lone electron pair on the top of the oxygen will have a repulsion force on the 2 hydrogen atom's orbiting electrons to cause a bent molecular geometry.
Answer:
Ni
Explanation:
An active metal is a highly reactive metal. Active metals are found high up in the activity series.
Active metals react with other metals that are lower than them in the activity thereby displacing the lower metals from a solution of their salts. This is what may have happened in the other two reactions.
Ni is the most active metal listed in the question since it can react a compounds with Pb(NO3)2(aq) to liberate Pb metal.
