Answer:
A.There are many active undersea volcanoes
B.There are long underwater mountain chains
Answer:
Choice 'B'
Explanation:
Choice B => SCl₂ => 2 bonded pairs + 2 nonbonded pairs => 4 electron pairs => AX₄ parent => tetrahedral parent, but the shape is defined only by what's bonded to the central element that is, sulfur bonded to two Cl substrates. The electron pairs will assume positions in space (to minimize repulsion forces) like a regular tetrahedron (AX₄) but will have an AX₂E₂ geometry which is a Bent Geometry.
Suggest searching molecular geometry images online. Look for derivatives of AX₄ geometries. Example: H₂O (AX₂E₂ bent geometry; also a derivative of AX₄ tetrahedral parent geometry).
We need draw the structure of (3E,5E)-2,5-dibromo-3,5-octadiene.
The structure is shown below:
The molecule has two double bonds in 3 and 5 position and two Br-atoms attached to 2 and 5 position.
The configuration is 3E and 5E. E configuration indicates cis- isomers where similar groups are in same side with respect to double bonds.
