"Asthenosphere" describes a section of Earth's structure below moving continents as parts of large plates.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

The asthenosphere denoted as the upper mantle of a very sticky, mechanically weak and flexible area in the earth. It is located below the surface of the lithosphere at depths of about 80 and 200 km (in terms of miles, 50 and 120). The boundary is commonly called the lithospheric LAB - asthenosphere.

The asthenosphere is nearly solid, though some of its regions could be molten below mid-ocean ridges for an instance. The lower asthenosphere boundary isn't well defined. The asthenosphere's thickness depends primarily on the temperature.

White phosphorus is composed of tetrahedral molecules of P4 in which every P atom is connected to three other P atoms. In the Le

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

In the Lewis structure of P4 there are 6 bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.

Explanation:

The structure of tetrahedral molecule of P4 is provided below.

Each phosphorus atom has 5 valence electrons out of which 3 electrons involve in bonding and the rest 2 electrons exist as a lone pair that does not involve in bonding.Hence each phosphorus atom has one lone pair.In P4 molecule there are phosphorus atoms and hence 4 lone pairs in total.

As you can see in the figure, each phosphorus atom is bonded to the other three atoms.A bond is formed when two atoms share one electron each and the pair is called bonding pair.

From the figure we can see that there are 6 bonds in total.Each bond consist of one bonding pair of electrons and hence in total there are 6 bonding pairs of electrons.

Hence in a P4 molecule there are six bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.

Consider the reaction at 500 ° C 500°C . N 2 ( g ) + 3 H 2 ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − 2 NH 3 ( g ) K c = 0.061 N2(g)+3H2(g)↽−−⇀2NH3(g)Kc=0.06

Sav [38]

Answer:

Q = 0.061 = Kc

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = 500 °C

Kc=0.061

1.14 mol/L N2

5.52 mol/L H2

3.42 mol/L NH3

Step 2: Calculate Q

Q=[products]/[reactants]=[NH3]²/ [N2][H2]³

If Qc=Kc then the reaction is at equilibrium.

If Qc<Kc then the reaction will shift right to reach equilibrium.

If Qc>Kc then the reaction will shift left to reach equilibrium.

Q = (3.42)² / (1.14 * 5.52³)

Q = 11.6964/191.744

Q = 0.061

Q = Kc the reaction is at equilibrium.

An ionic bond can be formed when one or more electrons are 1) equally shared by two atoms 2) unequally shared by two atoms 3) tr

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

4) transferred from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of another atom

Explanation:

Electrons are located outside of the nucleus which contains the protons and the neutrons.

For bonds to form, valence electrons located in the outermost shell electrons are involved. These are the valence electrons. These outer shell electrons can be shared or transferred between two combining atoms to form stable atoms.

In ionic bonds, the electrons are transferred from one specie to another. The atom that loses the electrons becomes positively charged and the receiving atom becomes negatively charged. This is the crux of ionic bonds.

Which of the following statements about alkenes is not correct?

professor190 [17]

<span>Option-C: They react mainly by substitution.

Explanation:
Alkene doesn't give substitution reactions because they are non polar in nature. The double bond in alkene is responsible for Electrophillic Addition reactions as it electron rich and nucleophilic in nature. Reaction of Alkene is given below,</span>
