You can't because the electrons repel

Answer:  No

Explanation:  No, we cannot force the atoms to leave their original shape and

gain a new configuration by pushing all the atoms because of the Repulsion Theory, which explains that no 2 electrons can be stay together in the minimum space because they would repel each other. That is why the lone pairs of electrons share the maximum space so that they wont be able to get in to the vicinity of the bonded electrons and thus experiencing the maximum repulsion.

Thus configuration of atoms in the real molecules suggests that the bonded pair of electrons and lone pairs of electrons (if present) will share the maximum space .

Which of the following is a balanced equation?<br><br>Select one:<br>a. A<br>b. B<br>c. C<br>d. D​
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Balanced equations have the same number of elements on both sides. If the number of elements are equal to each other for every element in the equation on both sides, then the equation is balanced.

Important concept : The big number before an element or compound represents how many molecules of that compound or element there are in a reaction. To find the number of atoms of each element you multiply the coefficient by the subscript ( small number ) which represents the number of atoms of that element in each molecule. Ex. 3H2O. There is a coefficient of 3 meaning that there are 3 molecules of H2O. There is a subscript after H meaning there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in each molecule. To find the total number of atoms we multiply the subscript of hydrogen by the coefficient of the whole molecule. 3 * 2 = 6 , so there are a total of 6 atoms of hydrogen in 3H2O

A) Cu + 2AgNO3 ==> CuNO3 + 2Ag

                    1   Cu  1

                    2   Ag  2

                     2   N  1

                     3  O   3

The amount of nitrogen atoms is different on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation

B) CCl4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2Cl2

                     1  C  1

                     4  Cl  4

                     2  O  2

The number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation therefore this is the balanced equation, however lets check the other answer choices just in case.

C)  2K + H2SO4 ==> K2SO4 + 2H2

                        2  K   2

                        1   H   4

                        1   S    1

                        4  O   4

The number of Hydrogen atoms are different on each side of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.

D) 2Al2O3 ==> 2Al + 3O2

              4  Al  2

              6  O  6
There are a different amount of aluminum atoms on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.

When the valves are opened and the gases are allowed to mix at a constant temperature, what is the distribution of atoms in each
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Equal number of atoms of each gas in each container

Explanation:

When the valves opened, the two contaienrs become one and the gases beging to mix by diffusion. This phenomenom is produced by the differeces of concentration of a gas between two points of the container.

The gases will continue diffunding util their concentration in both containers are equal.
