The atoms combine to form compounds to attain stability in nature. The combination of atoms takes place by sharing of electrons between the atoms or complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Generally, atoms combine to complete their octet, that is to possess eight electrons in their outer most shell (noble gas configurations) except hydrogen which can attain stability by two electrons in its outer most shell.
Since germanium has 4 electrons in its outer most shell so it needs 4 more electrons to complete its octet and attains the stability. Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer most shell and it needs only 1 electron to attain stability so, each germanium will combine with 4 hydrogen atoms and thus forming
molecule which is stable in nature.
Hence,
is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium.
Answer:
The approximate bond angle around the central carbon atom in acrolein is 120°.
Explanation:
The structure of acrolein is shown in the attachment. From the structure, we can deduce that the central carbon atom is in an sp2 hybridization (Atoms with a double bond hybridize in an sp2 fashion).
Atoms with sp2 hybridization have trigonal planar geometry, in this kind of hybridization, bonds are oriented the farthest away possible from each other, to minimize overlapping and the angle that allows that is 120°.
Answer:
see notes below
Explanation:
The mole is the mass of substance containing 1 Avogadro's Number of particles. That is, 1 mole substance = 1 formula weight. For elements, 1 mole weight is equal to the atomic weight expressed as grams. For molecules, 1 mole weight is equal to the molecular weight expressed as grams.
1 mole = 1 formula weight
<u>Moles to Grams and Grams to Moles</u>
Grams => Moles
Given grams, moles = mass given / formula weight
*Ask the question => How many formula weights are there in the given mass? => Results is always moles.
Moles => Grams
Given moles, grams = moles given X formula weight
*Summary
Grams to Moles => divide by formula weight
Moles to Grams => multiply by formula weight
