Answer:
Tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, trigonal bipyramidal.
Explanation:
The VSPER theory states that the bonds of sharing electrons and the lone pairs of electrons will repulse as much as possible. So, by the repulsion, the molecule will have some shape.
In the ion PO₄³⁻, the central atom P has 5 electrons in its valence shell, so it needs 3 electrons to be stable. Oxygen has 6 electrons at the valence shell and needs 2 to be stable. 3 oxygens share 1 pair of electrons with P, and the two lone pair remaining in P is shared with the other O, then the central atom makes 4 bonds and has no lone pairs, the shape is tetrahedral.
In the ion H₃O⁺, the central atom O has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 electrons to be stable. The hydrogen has 1 electron, and need 1 more to be stable. The hydrogens share 1 pair of electrons with the oxygen, then it remains 3 electrons at the central atom, and the VSPER theory states that the shape will be a trigonal pyramidal.
In the AsF₅, the central atom As has 5 valence electrons, and F has 1 electron in its valence shell, so each F shares one pair of electrons with As, and there are no lone pairs in the central atom. For 5 bonds without lone pairs, the shape is trigonal bipyramidal.
Answer:
Option E. Zirconium
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Length of side (L) of cube = 0.2 cm
Mass (m) of cube = 52 mg
Name of the unknown metal =?
Next, we shall determine the volume of the cube. This can be obtained as follow:
Length of side (L) of cube = 0.2 cm
Volume (V) of the cube =?
V = L³
V = 0.2³
V = 0.008 cm³
Next, we shall convert 52 mg to g. This can be obtained as follow:
1000 mg = 1 g
Therefore,
52 mg = 52 mg × 1 g / 1000 mg
52 mg = 0.052 g
Thus, 52 mg is equivalent to 0.052 g.
Next, we shall determine the density of the unknown metal. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass = 0.052 g.
Volume = 0.008 cm³
Density =?
Density = mass / volume
Density = 0.052 / 0.008
Density of the unknown metal = 6.5 g/cm³
Comparing the density of the unknown metal i.e 6.5 g/cm³ with those given in table in the above, we can conclude that the unknown metal is zirconium
