What determines a molecules VSEPR shape?

Chemistry

Using the VSEPR theory, the electron bond pairs and lone pairs on the center atom will help us predict the shape of a molecule. The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons. The electrons and the nuclei settle into positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction.

A balloon occupies a volume of 2.00 l at 40.0oc. how much volume will it occupy at 30.0oc?
hodyreva [135]
<span>Charles' law says "at a constant pressure, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature".

V </span>α T

Where V is the volume and T is the temperature in Kelvin of the gas. We can use this for two situations as,
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = 2.00 L
T₁ = 40.0 ⁰C = 313 K
V₂ = ?
T₂ = 30.0 ⁰C = 303 K

By applying the formula,
2.00 L / 313 K = V₂ / 303 K                   
                   V₂ = (2.00 L / 313 K) x 303 K
                   V₂ = 1.94 L

Hence, the volume of the balloon at 30.0 ⁰C  is 1.94 L

Atoms of two different elements react with each other when they have?
kipiarov [429]

All other elements react with other elements to form compounds. In the special case where the reaction produces fixed numbers of the same types of atoms in exactly the same configuration, we say the elements have formed a molecule.
