Answer:  A) Less than 109.5°

Explanation: The electron pair geometry of a molecule is tetrahedral , which means the number of electrons is 4 that means the hybridization will be sp^3. and the bond angle will be 109.5°.

But as one lone pair of electrons and three bonding pairs are present, the fourth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the bond angle will decrease from 109.5° and molecular geometry will be trigonal pyramidal.

As in ammonia molecule, the bond angle reduces to 107° due to the presence of lone pair of electron in tetrahedral geometry.

Thermal energy always moves from a greater energy level to a lesser energy level
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

\fbox{Law -Based \: on \: laws \: of \: thermodynamic}

Explanation:

At constant pressure Thermal energy always moves from a greater energy level to a lesser energy level, laws of thermodynamics prove that.

Nature always likes to attain equilibrium either it's movement of heat energy or flow of water from higher region to lower region. The first and second law of thermodynamics are profe of that, the first law says that the total energy of universe is Constant. Energy can not be destroyed it always changes from one form to another, by work and heat. The second law explains why thermal energy moves from a greater energy level to a lesser energy level, it deals with the change in entropy of a system and surrounding and states heat flows from hot environment to cold environment.

Give the number of protons and electrons in each of these ions or atoms (show your work) Cs. Ba , .s
Morgarella [4.7K]

Explanation:

The sum of total number of protons present in an element is known as atomic number of the element.

  • As atomic number of Cs is 55.

And, it is known that for a neutral atom the number of protons equal to the number of electrons.

Since, no charge in present on given Cs atom it means that it is neutral in nature. Hence, number of protons and electrons present in Cs are 55.

  • For Ba, it is also neutral in nature and atomic number of barium is 56. Hence, number of protons and electrons present in Ba are 56.
  • For S, there is no charge on it so it is also neutral in nature. Atomic number of S is 16. Hence, number of protons and electrons present in S are 16.
