Answer:

(C) bent 109

(2) XY_5Z

Explanation:

The number of bond pairs = 2

Number of lone pairs = 2

The general formula is - XY_2Z_2

According to VSEPR theory, the atoms will form a geometry in such a way that there is minimum repulsion and maximum stability.  

The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs. Hybridization is sp³. The geometry is bent shape which has an angle of approximately 105.5°. It original has angle of 109.5° but due to lone pair repulsion, it reduces.

Answer - (C) bent 109

Square pyramidal possibility:- (2) XY_5Z

The central atom has 5 bond pairs and 1 lone pair. Hybridization is sp³d. The geometry is square pyramidal in which the equatorial bonds has an angle of 120° and axial bond has an angle of 90°.

How are oxidation-reduction reactions related to how you use energy?​
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

In oxidation reduction reactions, one species gets reduced by taking on electron(s) and another species gets oxidized by losing electrons. The movement of electrons can be used to do work. ... The electron flow can be run through a wire and these electrons can be used to do work (like run a battery). Hope this helps.

Explain the purpose and function of a gene.
Kryger [21]

Function

Genes decide almost everything about a living being. One or more genes can affect a specific trait. Genes may interact with an individual’s environment too and change what the gene makes.

Genes affect hundreds of internal and external factors, such as whether a person will get a particular color of eyes or what diseases they may develop.

Some diseases, such as sickle-cell anemia and Huntington’s disease, are inherited, and these are also affected by genes.

Purpose

The purpose of genes is to store information.

Each gene contains the information required to build specific proteins needed in an organism.

Hope this helps !!
