The molecule CO2 is arranged in a linear molecular geometry. TRUE FALSE

Chemistry
1 answer:
antiseptic1488 [7]3 years ago
5 0

I would say true because the Valence Shell Electron Pairs will Repel each other. When they do they are forced to the opposite side of the Carbon atom giving CO2 a linear molecular shape. The CO2 bond angle will be 180 degrees since it has a linear molecular geometry.

sorry if im wrong

draw the lewis structure for CO2, H2CO3, HCO3-, and CO3 2-.Rank these in order of increasing attraction to water molecules. Expl
gavmur [86]

Answer:

The structures are attached in file.

Hydrogen bonding and intermolecular forces is the reason for ranks allotted.

Explanation:

In determining Lewis structure, we calculate the overall number of valence electrons available for bonding.  Making carbon (the least electronegative atom) the central atom in the structure, we allocate valence electrons until each atom has achieved stability.

In order of decreasing affinity to water molecules:

CO_{3}^{2-}  > HCO_{3} ^{2-} > H_{2} CO_{3}

This is due to the fact that the CO_{3}^{2-}will accept protons more readily than the bicarbonate ion, HCO_{3} ^{2-}. Carbonic acid, H_{2} CO_{3} will not accept any more protons, hence it is the least attractive to water molecule, even though soluble.

An atom X has 2 electrons in its outer orbit. What will it do to form a stable ion?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

In a neutral molecule, the sum of the bonding valance electrons must be equal. So the products of the negative element and its charges and the positive element and its charge must be equal.

Explanation:

C1×N1 = C2×N2

If we have a 3 valance electrons , the 'A' charge will be either +3 or -5 for a full octet and valance electron in 'B' atoms will mostly result in acquisition of additional electrons (2) for an octet and relative charge of -2.

Balancing the two,

3 × A = -2 × B

To be equal, A = 2 and B = 3

Therefore, A²B³
