What is the slope of the line?

pychu [463]

Answer:

The slope of the line is $-\frac{10}{7}$ .

Explanation:

The slope of the line ( $m$ ) is the change in dependent variable ( $y$ ) divided by the change in independent variable ( $x$ ):

$m = \frac{y_{f}-y_{o}}{x_{f}-x_{o}}$ (1)

If we know that $(x_{o}, y_{o}) = (0, 2)$ and $(x_{f}, y_{f}) = (1.4, 0)$ , then the slope of the line is:

$m = \frac{0-2}{1.4-0}$

$m = -\frac{10}{7}$

The slope of the line is $-\frac{10}{7}$ .

Predict the geometry around the central atom in SO2- A) trigonal pyramidal B) tetrahedral C) octahedral D) trigonal planar E) tr

liubo4ka [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the hybridization of $SO_2$ , we use the equation:

$\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom (S) = 6

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom = 0

C = charge of cation = 0

A = charge of anion = 0

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[6]=3$

The number of electron pair around the central metal atom are 3. This means that the hybridization will be $sp^2$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
