Answer:

The correct answer is because the molecular structure.

Explanation:

The difficulty of ammonia and methane to be represented on paper is due to the molecular structure. These compounds have a three-dimensional projection with defined angles. Ammonia presents angles of 109.5º between the atom of Nitrogen and those of Oxygen. The ammonia presents 107.8º between the oxygen atoms.

In the methane molecule, there is 109.5º between the hydrogen molecules and the carbon atom. This results in the need for a 3D representation of the molecule.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

8239.2g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of atoms in Br = 6.2 x 10²⁵atoms

Unknown:

Mass of Br = ?

Solution:

From mole concepts, we know that:

1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ atoms/mol

Molar mass of Br = 80g/mol

6.2 x 10²⁵atoms x $\frac{1}{6.02 x 10^{23} }$ $\frac{mol}{atoms}$ x 80 x $\frac{g}{moles}$

= 8239.2g

Answer:

As Per Given Information

Number of moles SO₂ ( Sulphur dioxide ) is 0.30

We 've been asked to find the number of atoms in given moles of Sulphur dioxide .

Value of Avogadro Number is 6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹

For finding the number of atoms we will use formale

$\underline{\boxed{\textbf{\textsf{ Number \: of \: atoms \: = Given \: moles \: . Avogadro \: number}}}}$

Putting the given value we obtain

$\sf \twoheadrightarrow \: Number \: of \: atoms \: = 0.30 \times 6.022 \times {10}^{ 23} \\ \\ \sf \twoheadrightarrow \: Number \: of \: atoms \: = \: 1.8066 \times {10}^{ 23} atoms$
