Lone pair in molecule exert greater solid angle than bond pair. explain?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sphinxa [80]2 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion model is best used to explain why lone pair in molecules exert greater solid angle than bond pair.

  • The VSEPR model determines the total number of electron pairs surrounding the central atom of the species.

Total electron pair = Bond pair + Lone pair

  • All the electron pairs (like charges) will orient themselves in such a way so as to minimize the electrostatic repulsion between them round an atom.
  • There are three types of repulsion which are bond pair - bond pair, bond pair - lone pair and lone pair - lone pair.
  • The repulsion determines the geometry of the covalent bonds around the central atom.
  • As the number of lone pairs increases, the bond angle diminishes.

All solutions<br>are mixtures; but<br>all mixtures are<br>not solutions.<br>why?​
aleksklad [387]

All solutions are mixtures of two or more substances, but unless the mixture has a homogeneous distribution of solutes in the solvent, then the mixture is not a solution. Therefore, all mixtures are not solutions.

Consider the reaction of gaseous hydrogen with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous water. Given that the first picture represents
Bogdan [553]

The question is incomplete. There's missing the image, which is shown below.

Answer:

Volume of O₂ = 6 L, volume of mixture: 18 L, volume of H₂O = 12 L, molecule volume of H₂O = 0.667 molecule/L

Explanation:

The reaction between hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to form water is:

2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)

So, for 1 mol of O₂ is necessary 2 moles of H₂ form 2 moles of H₂O. As the images below there's 8 molecules of H₂, 4 molecules of O₂, 12 molecules in the mixture, and 8 molecules of H₂O. Thus, there are stoichiometric values.

All the images are at the same temperature and pressure, so, by the ideal gas law:

PV= nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature.

The number of moles and molecules are related, so let's substitute it in the equation. For the H₂:

P*12 = 8*RT

RT/P = 12/8 = 1.5

Thus, for O₂:

PV= nRT

V = n*(RT/P)

V = 4*1.5 = 6 L

For the mixture:

V = 12*1.5 = 18 L

For H₂O:

V = 8*1.5 = 12 L

The molecule volume is the number of molecules divided by the volume they occupy, thus for water: 8/12 = 0.667 molecules/L

Lipids are made up of long hydrocarbon chains, composed of all carbon and hydrogen atoms. this characteristic makes lipids insol
Airida [17]
This is because their tails are hydrophobic and their heads are hydrophilic. Hydrophobic meaning dislikes being near water and hydrophilic meaning likes to be near water. Therefore, they will orientate themselves in such a manner that the heads are facing externally and all the tails are facing together protected by the hydrophilic heads. google a photo of lipid chains in water if you are still confused. I'm not sure if that is what you are asking, but I hope it helps.

Why would two poles of different magnets attract each other?
Kruka [31]

When two magnets are brought near each other, like poles repel; opposite poles attract. When a magnet is brought near a piece of iron, the iron also gets attracted to the magnet, and it acquires the same ability to attract other pieces of iron.
