What effect does a lone electron pair have on molecular shape?

Using the VSPER theory, the effect of lone pairs on molecular shape can be discussed.

There are 3 types of electron pairs present in a molecular shape: bond pair -bond pair, lone pair - bond pair, lone pair - lone pair.

Strength of repulsions between these three types of pair follows the order:

lone pair- lone pair > lone pair - bond pair > bond pair - bond pair

Whenever there is an addition of lone pairs to the geometry, some distortions take place which decreases the bond angles and some asymmetry is attained in the original molecular shape.

How tungsten conducts electricity

Elis [28]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The virtue that tungsten is metal it means that it does conduct electricity. Tungsten does conduct electricity currents quite well, such as when compared to iron and nickel. It is, however, not a good conductor as compared to other metals though it does get the job done.

Which activity might help to increase the validity of this experiment?

MArishka [77]

A should be the answer because the more you test an experiment the more data you have to rely on changing the experiment would cause you to have different outcomes making the results different and unreliable so B, C, and D is not going to be the answer Hope this helps

An airplane travels 2100 km at 1000km/hE. It encounters a wind and slows to 800 km/h E for the next 1300 km. What is the average

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The average velocity of the airplane for this trip is 1684.21 km/h

Explanation:

Average velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time. That is,

Average velocity = $\frac{Displacement }{Change in time}$ = Δx / Δt = $\frac{x2 - x1}{t2 - t1}$

Now we will calculate the time taken by the airplane for the first motion before it encounters a wind.

From,

Velocity = $\frac{Distance traveled}{Time taken}$

Time = $\frac{Distance traveled}{Velocity}$

Therefore, Time = $\frac{2100km }{1000km/h}$

Time = 2.1h

This is the time taken before the airplane encounters a wind.

Hence, t1 = 2.1h

Now, For the time taken by the airplane when it encounters a wind

Also from,

Velocity = $\frac{Distance traveled}{Time taken}$

Time = $\frac{Distance traveled}{Velocity}$

Therefore, Time = $\frac{1300km }{800km/h}$

Time = 1.625h

Hence, t2 = 1.625h

Now, to calculate the average velocity

Average velocity = $\frac{x2 - x1}{t2 - t1}$

x1= 2100, x2= 1300, t1= 2.1h and t2= 1.625h

Hence, Average velocity = $\frac{1300 - 2100}{1.625 - 2.1}$

Average velocity = 1684.21 km/h

The prefix ‘kilo-‘ means a thousand.

Blababa [14]

Answer:

0.97 kg, 1.0kg

Explanation:

As you have mentioned in the question, to convert kilo-gram to grams, this conversion is used, 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams

Initially, when one has to convert from one unit to another, there is a lot of confusion. To avoid any such, multiply and divide the number with units to which it has to be converted.

Here,

970 g = $970 g \times\frac{1 kg}{1 kg}$

This makes no difference to the number.

970 g = $970 g \times\frac{1 kg}{1000 g}$

As, 1 kg= 1,000 g

970 g = $\frac{970}{1000} kg$

970 g = 0.97 kg

Rounding this off to the nearest tenth of a kilogram.

The tenths place is immediately to the right of the decimal point.

Here, 9 is at the tenth's place. Round the tenth's place up if the digit at hundredth's place is greater than or equal to 5. Since, 7 > 5, up the number at tenth's place.

So, answer is 1.0 kg
