8 0

Answer: Ozone's molecular geometry can be described as bent.

Explanation:

The molecular geometry of the O3 groups has a trigonal planar arrangement.

Here is a quick explanation of the molecular geometry of O3 including a quick description of the O3 bond angles.

Examining the  Lewis structure of  O3 we can see that there are a pair of unbounded valence electrons at the top of the structure.

Based on VSEPR Theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory) these electrons will repel the electron clouds of the two oxygen atoms on the end.

As a result they will be pushed down giving the 03 molecule a bent molecular geometry or shape.

The 03 bond angle will be 116° degrees since it has a Bent molecular geometry

Calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2) Ca:H:C:O = 1:2:2 ___ Lithium sulfide (Li:2s) Li:S = 2:__
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: The ratio of atoms in calcium bicarbonate ; Ca : H : C : O = 1:2:2:6.

The ratio of atoms in lithium sulfide; Li : S = 2 : 1

Explanation:

In calcium bicarbonate:Ca(HCO_3)_2

In a molecular formula of calcium carbonate there are:

Number of Calcium atoms = 1

Number of Hydrogen atom = 1 × 2 = 2

Number of Carbon atoms = 1 × 2 = 2

Number of Oxygen atoms = 3 × 2 = 6

So, Ca : H : C : O = 1 : 2 : 2 : 6

In lithium sulfide :Li_2S

In a molecular formula of lithium sulfide there are:

Number of Lithium atoms =  1 × 2 = 2

Number of Sulfur atoms = 1

So, the Li : S = 2 : 1
