Q1)
first lets draw the lewis structure for CO₂
C is the central atom with O atom on either side of C
O - C - O
the number of valence electrons around each atom 
C- 4
O - 6
O - 6
total number of valence electrons - 16
number of electron pairs - 16/2 = 8
1 pair is shared between 1 O atom and C and another electron pair is shared between C and other O atom 
that leaves us with 8 -2 = 6 pairs 
add 3 pairs each for O atoms as lone pairs and octets for both O atoms are completed. But in C the octet is not complete yet. So we convert the 2 single bonds between C and O to 2 double bonds on either side. then octet of C is complete. number of lone pairs around O is reduced to 2 lone pairs.
the structure is as follows
  ..            . .
: O = C = O :
to determine the geometry lets use VSEPR
number of valence electrons around C - 4
number of bonds around C (2 O with 2 electrons contributed - 4
total number of electrons - 8
number of electron pairs - 4
VSEPR geometry for 4 pairs with no lone pairs is linear geometry

1. The lewis structure for CO₂ has a central carbon atom attached to oxygen atoms through two double bonds.

2. Carbon dioxide has a linear electron geometry

3. Carbon atom is sp hybridized.

4. Carbon dioxide has two <span>C(p)-O(p)</span> π bonds and two O(sp²)-C(sp) sigma bonds.
the geometry of CO₂ linear means its sp hybridised where each orbital has 50% s and 50% p character. One s orbital and one p orbital have mixed and form 2 sp orbitals. the remaining p orbitals take part in π bonds and sp orbitals take part in sigma bonding. So between C and O there's one sigma bond and one pi bond. Altogether 2 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds.
O has 3 sp² orbitals with 2 of them being lone pair orbitals. One sp² orbital bonds with sp orbital of C forming a sigma bond. the other p orbital of O bonds with p orbital of C forming a pi bond.

How sulphuric acid react with Glucose ? Give reaction​
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Concentrated sulfuric acid can perform a dehydration reaction with table sugar. After mixing, the color changes from white to brownish and eventually to black. The expansion of the mixture is the result of vaporization of water and CO2 inside the container.

2. A magnifying glass is an example of a _______ lens.
NISA [10]
<span>The answer to question 2 is C. A magnifying glass is an example of a plano-convex lens, where one side of the lens is flat and the other is a convex curve. The answer to question 3 is either B or C. A converging lens is curved on both sides and so the rays of light coming out of it converge at a point, which is known as the focal point. When the object is inside the focal point, the image is real and inverted. If it is inside the focal point, the image is virtual and upright. Therefore the image in this question will be upright. The focal length is the distance between the image that is being magnified and the centre of the magnifying lens. A real image can only be formed when the object is further away from the lens than the focal length. Therefore, in this question, the image is virtual, as the object is closer to the lens than the focal length. The answer to question 4 is D because the index of refraction cannot be less than 1. The answer to question 5 is D because only concave mirrors can produce real images; other types produce virtual images. For question 6, the answer is D. In the rainbow, each of the colours refracts at a slightly different angle; red has the smallest refractive index and violet the largest. Of the options, orange is closest to red. For question 12, A is the answer. A higher operating temperature is not a reason fluorescent lamps are better than incandescent lamps because they have a lower operating temperature. Question 15: all of these are characteristics of different electromagetic waves. For question 18, B is true - special care must be taken when low illuminance is required to reduce glare. The answer to question 19 is B - a compound microscope makes use of two lenses. For question 20, the answer is 5 meters away. The illuminance (E) is equal to light intensity (I) divided by the square distance from the light source (d). Therefore, 4 = 100/d squared. To switch this around, d squared is equal to 100/4 = 25. Then find the square root of 25, which is 5.</span>
