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°.

Determine whether each melting point observation corresponds to a pure sample of a single compound or to an impure sample with m
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Wide melting point range - impure sample with multiple compounds

Experimental melting point is close to literature value - pure sample of a single compound

Experimental melting point is below literature value - impure sample with multiple compounds

Narrow melting point range - pure sample of a single compound

Explanation:

The melting point of substances are easily obtainable from literature such as the CRC Handbook of Physics and Chemistry.

A single pure substance is always observed to melt within a narrow temperature range. This melting temperature is always very close to the melting point recorded in literature for the pure compound.

However, an impure sample with multiple compounds will melt over a wide temperature range. We also have to recall that impurities lower the melting point of a pure substance. Hence, the experimental melting point of an impure sample with multiple compounds is always below the literature value.
