What is the configuration of all electron pairs arranged around oxygen in a water molecule?

2 answers:

4 0

I think the answer would be : Tetrahedral

Oxygen has 6 electrons and need 2 more electron to complete its octet. In Tetrahedral, the electrons are arranged so it surround the oxygen and forming a 109 degree bond angel/

hope this helps

Verdich [7]

Answer:

For 1: The correct answer is Option A.

For 2: The correct answer is Option B.

For 3: The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

For 1:

Atomic number is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons that are present in a neutral atom. It is represented as Z.

Z = Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons present in an atom. It is represented as A.

A = Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

For 2:

The isotopic representation of an atom is: $_Z^A\textrm{X}$

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

We are given:

An isotopic representation of beryllium atom: $_4^9\textrm{Be}$

Thus, the number '4' represents the atomic number of beryllium, number '9' represents the mass number of beryllium atom.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

For 3:

In CO compound:

Mass of oxygen = 16 g

Mass of carbon = 12 g

In $CO_2$ compound:

Mass of oxygen = 32 g

Mass of carbon = 12 g

Thus, the ratio of mass of oxygen in $CO_2$ and CO is:

$CO_2:CO=32:16=2:1$

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

When 2.5 mol of O2 are consumed in their reaction, ________ mol of CO2 are produced

Vika [28.1K]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

The combustion of propane (C3H8) in the presence of excess oxygen yields $CO_2$ and $H_2O$

$C_3H_8(g)+5O_2 (g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O (g)$

When only 2.5 mol of $O_2$ are consumed in order to complete the reaction, ________ mol of $CO_2$ are produced.

Answer: Thus when 2.5 mol of $O_2$ are consumed in their reaction, 1.5 mol of $CO_2$ are produced

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

$C_3H_8(g)+5O_2 (g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O (g)$

According to stoichiometry :

5 moles of $O_2$ produce = 3 moles of $CO_2$

Thus 2.5 moles of $O_2$ will produce = $\frac{3}{5}\times 2.5=1.5$ moles of $CO_2$

Thus when 2.5 mol of $O_2$ are consumed in their reaction, 1.5 mol of $CO_2$ are produced

In the liquid and solid states, molecules are held together by attractions called intermolecular forces. there are several types

BaLLatris [955]

Since these molecules are all non-polar, the only intermolecular force of attraction will be London dispersion forces. Since these increase by the size of the molecule, the boiling points will decrease in the same order: Parafin > Heptadecane > hexane > 2,2-dimethylbutane > propane For these two, hexane > 2,2-dimethylbutane, dispersion forces are greater in a molecule which is longer and unbranched compared to one which is branched and more compact.
