Blank 1: polar
The difference in electronegativity between N and H causes electrons to preferentially orbit N, making the bond polar.
Blank 2: trigonal pyramidal
There are four “things” attached to N - 3 H’s and 1 lone pair of electrons. The four things together are arranged into a tetrahedral formation. However, the lone pairs don’t actually contribute to the shape of the molecule per se; it’s only the actual atoms that do. The lone pair creates a bit of repulsion that pushes the 3 H’s down, creating a trigonal pyramidal shape (as opposed to a trigonal planar one).
Blank 3: polar
The molecule as a whole is also polar because the “things” around it, though arranged in a tetrahedral pattern, are not all the same. The side of the molecule with the lone pair is slightly negative, while the side with the 3 H’s is slightly positive due to the differences in electronegativity described above.
Answer 8.0 L.
2.0L / 5.0 moles = x / 20.0 => x = 20 / 5 * 2 = 8
Answer:
atomic number
Explanation:
atomic number is the number of protons
Answer:
Science is the study of the physical or material world. Science is important because it can answer questions about new ideas and can advance technologies
Explanation:
Answer:
<em>What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron </em>is<u><em> energy</em></u><em>.</em>
Explanation:
The normal state of the atoms, where all the electrons are occupying the lowest possible energy level, is called ground state.
The <em>valence electrons</em> are the electrons that occupy the outermost shell, this is the electrons in the highest main energy level (principal quantum number) of the atom.
So, a <em>nonvalence electron</em> occupies an orbital with less energy than what a valence electron does; in consequence, in order to a nonvalence electron jump from its lower energy level to the higher energy level of a valence electron, the former has to absorb (gain) energy.
This new state is called excited state and is temporary: the electron promoted to the higher energy level will emit the excess energy, in the form of light (photons), to come back to the lower energy level and so the atom return to the ground state.
