The options

Select one:

a. a 3- ion forms.

b. the noble gas configuration of argon is achieved.

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

d. the atom gains five electrons.

Answer:

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

Explanation:

Aluminium atom has atomic number of 13 , hence the number of electron is 13 for a neutral atom of aluminium. When aluminium atom reacts with other elements it usually gives out three electron to attain the octet configuration.

The cation representation of aluminium is Al3+ because it has loss three electron to attain the octet rule. Aluminium will be left with 10 electrons after losing 3 of it electrons. The electronic configuration will be represented as follows after losing three electrons;

1S² 2S² 2P∧6 .

At this stage the octet rule has been achieved as it will be represented as

2  8.  The first energy shell now contains two electron and the second energy shell contains 8 electrons.

The configuration of  Neon has been formed in the process.

The correct increasing order of Bond angle is H2O < NH3 < BCl3 < CCl4 H2O < NH3 < CCl4 < BCl3 NH3 < H2O &lt
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

H2O < NH3 < CCl4 < BCl3

Explanation:

Bond angle of a molecule or an ion can be explained by two concepts which are either by their valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) model or hybridization.

The VSEPR model  determines the total number of electron pairs surrounding the central atom of the species. All the electron pairs will orient themselves in such a way as to minimize the electrostatic repulsions between them. These repulsions hence determine the geometry of the covalent bond angles around the central atom.

Hence; as the number of lone pairs increases from zero to 2 the bond angles diminish progressively.

Hybridization is the mixing and blending of two or more pure atomic orbitals to form two or moe hybrid atomic orbitals which are identical in shape and energy. During the process of formation of these hybrid orbitals, The bonds formed i.e the sigma bond and the pi bond determines the bond angle of such compound.

From the given compounds;

H20 have a bond angle of 104.5°

NH3 have a bond angle of 107°

BCl3 have a bond angle of 120°

CCl4 have a bond angle of 109.5°

thus in an increasing order of bond angle:

H2O < NH3 < CCl4 < BCl3

Which points of Dalton's atomic theory is supported by these findings?
Sauron [17]
Dalton's Theory:
1. all elements is composed of very small particles called atoms 
<span>2. Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and properties. </span>
3. atoms cannot be divided, created, or destroyed
<span>4. Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole number ratios to form chemical compounds </span>
<span>5. In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged.
</span>So as we can see; the first two sentences are correct while the third sentence not supported in the theory
