Answer:oxygen is the central atom in water,it has two lone pairs of electrons, the bond angle is 104.27° The ideal H-O-H bond angle ought to have been 109.28°

Explanation:

The presence of lone pairs causes slight distortion in the bond angles of molecules. This distortion increases with the number of lone pairs present. Water has two lone pairs hence a greater distortion compared to ammonia.

Which of the following best defines a mineral and a rock?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

a. In a mineral the constituent atoms are bonded in a regular, repetitive, internal structure; a rock is a lithified or consolidated aggregate of different mineral grains.

Explanation:

In the internal structure of a mineral the atoms are arranged in an orderly manner, forming shapes that are repeated throughout the structure.

Rocks are a mixture of other materials consolidated in one, which include minerals.

So the minerals have a defined internal structure with atoms in a regular and repeated configuration, while a rock, being a consolidated aggregate, combination of other materials including minerals, does not have a structure that defined

Why does chlorine react vigorously with hydrogen in the presence of sunlight?
AleksandrR [38]
Chlorine react vigorously with hydrogen in the present of sunlight because chlorine has a great attraction for hydrogen's electron. During the reaction, chlorine  and hydrogen will donate one electron each from their valence electrons which will be shared equally by both elements, thus forming a covalent bond.

If 100. ml of water is added to 25 ml of 5.0 m nacl, the final concentration is __________.
Iteru [2.4K]
We may apply a mass balance here. The total moles of NaCl will remain constant before and after the mixing of the solutions. We have three solutions:
1) 25 ml of 5 M NaCl
2) 100 ml of 0 M NaCl
3) A mixture of these solutions with volume 125 ml and concentration C

The moles of a substance are equal to the product of the concentration and volume. Thus:

25 * 5 + 100 * 0 = 125 * C
C = 1 M

The concentration of the final solution is 1 M.
