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.

Explain why water and sodium oxide will have very different properties
Softa [21]

Water and sodium oxide have different properties because of their nature as explained below.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Sodium oxide is a oxide of metallic sodium, while water is an oxide of hydrogen. So sodium oxide is a metallic oxide, while water is a non metallic oxide. Sodium oxide is a basic oxide, while water is neutral. As state of matter is concerned, sodium oxide is solid in normal room temperature, while water is liquid in normal room temperature. Water is a polar covalent molecule with partial charges on oxygen, but sodium oxide is an ionic molecule.

So all these factors contribute to very different properties of both sodium oxide and water.

The following pairs of soluble solutions can be mixed. In some cases, this leads to the formation of an insoluble precipitate. D
Westkost [7]

Answer:

a) K_{2} S and NH_{4} Cl :

There are no insoluble precipitate forms.

b) Ca Cl_{2} and (NH_{4} )_{2} Co_{3} :

There are the insoluble precipitates of CaCo_{3}  forms.

c) Li_{2}S and MnBr_{2} :

There are the insoluble precipitates of MnS  forms.

d) Ba(No_{3} )_{2} and Ag_{2} So_{4} :                        

As Ag_{2} So_{4} is insoluble, therefore no precipitate forms.

e) Rb_{2}Co_{3} and NaCl:

There are no insoluble precipitates forms.

Explanation:

a)

Solubility rule suggests:- K_{2} S ⇒ soluble, NH_{4} Cl ⇒ soluble.

                                          KCl ⇒ soluble, (NH_{4})_{2} S  ⇒ soluble.

There are no insoluble precipitate forms.

b)

Solubility rule suggests:- Ca Cl_{2} ⇒ soluble, (NH_{4} )_{2} Co_{3} ⇒ soluble.

                                        CaCo_{3} ⇒ insoluble, NH_{4} Cl  ⇒ soluble.

There are the insoluble precipitates of CaCo_{3}  forms.

c)

Solubility rule suggests:- Li_{2}S ⇒ soluble, MnBr_{2} ⇒ soluble.

                                        LiBr ⇒ soluble, MnS  ⇒ insoluble.

There are the insoluble precipitates of MnS  forms.

d)

Solubility rule suggests:- Ba(No_{3} )_{2} ⇒ soluble, Ag_{2} So_{4} ⇒insoluble.

                                     

As Ag_{2} So_{4} is insoluble, therefore no precipitate forms.

e)

Solubility rule suggests:- Rb_{2}Co_{3} ⇒ soluble, NaCl ⇒ soluble.

                                        RbCl ⇒ soluble, Na_{2} Co_{3}  ⇒ soluble.

There are no insoluble precipitates forms.
