Answer:
The molecule has a bent geometry
Explanation:
Let us look again at the principles of VSEPR theory. The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.
Lone pairs distort the molecular geometry away from what is expected on the basis of VSEPR theory.
The molecule described in the question has the form AEX2. Two substituents and one lone pair form three electron domains around the central atom. The expected geometry is trigonal planar but the observed molecular geometry is bent because of the lone pairs present.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Because the number of protons is the same as the atomic number, we know what the number of protons has to be 26. The mass number, 55, is the same as the number of protons plus neutrons. Lastly, because there is no charge on this atom, the number of electrons would have to be the same as the number of protons, which is 26.
Answer:
D. Two reactants combine to form one product
Explanation:
The definition of synthesis in chemistry is "the production of chemical compounds by reaction from simpler materials."
A is decomposition, B is DOUBLE replacement, and C is SINGLE replacement.
The answer is: Plastic
Plastic is the result of the addition polymerization of poly(alkenes). Thus plastic is a synthetic organic material.
