Answer: 2 lone pairs, square planar
Explanation:
Using the VSEPR ( Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion)Theory
To calculate the number of lone pairs electron can be done using the formula;
Number of electrons = ½ (V+N-C+A)
V mean valency of the central atom
N means number of monovalent bonding atoms
C means charge on cation
A means charges on anion
Therefore, to calculate the number of lone pair electron C=A=0;
Number of electrons = ½ (8+4) = 12/2 = 6
Number of bonding pair = 4
Number of lone pairs of electron = 6-4 = 2
The hybridrization of the compound is sp3d2 because the number of electrons around the central atom is 6.
The geometry of the compound is square planar and this is because of the repulsion between the bonding pair of electrons and lone pair of electrons which causes the lone pair of electrons to lie in a perpendicular plane in order to acquire stability.
I need help on this one too I think it might be (b)
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. Everything else about them is the same.(If you want more explanation tell me).
C. PH3 represents a compound commonly known as phosphine, whose IUPAC name is phosphorus trihydride.
<h3>What type of bond is PH3?</h3>
The electronegativity of PH3 found in the Periodic Table of the Period attracts covalent electron pairs and creates covalent bonds. However, because the electrons are not bound, asymmetrical rate distribution occurs. Therefore, PH3 is a polar molecule with a non-polar covalent bond and currently has no polar bond.
<h3 /><h3>What defines a covalent bond?</h3>
A covalent bond consists of sharing one or more electron pairs between two atoms. These electrons are attracted to two nuclei at the same time. Covalent bonds are formed when the difference in electronegativity between two atoms is too small for electron transfer to form ions.
