Answer:

180^\circ by the VSEPR theory.

Explanation:

This question is asking for the bond angle of the \rm C=C=O bond in \rm H_2C=C=O. The VSEPR (valence shell electron pair repulsion) theory could help. Start by considering: how many electron domains are there on the carbon atom between these two bond?

Note that "electron domains" refer to covalent bonds and lone pairs collectively.

  • Each nonbonding pair (lone pair) of valence electrons counts as one electron domain.
  • Each covalent bond (single bond, double bond, or triple bond) counts as exactly one electron domain.

For example, in \rm H_2C=C=O, the carbon atom at the center of that \rm C=C=O bond has two electron domains:

  • This carbon atom has two double bonds: one \rm C=C bond and one \rm C=O bond. Even though these are both double bonds, in VSEPR theory, each of them count only as one electron domain.
  • Keep in mind that there are only four valence electrons in each carbon atom. It can be shown that all four valence electrons of this carbon atom are involved in bonding (two in each of the two double bonds.) Hence, there would be no nonbonding pair around this atom.

In VSEPR theory, electron domains around an atom repel each other. As a result, they would spread out (in three dimensions) as far away from each other as possible. When there are only two electron domains around an atom, the two electron domains would form a straight line- with one domain on each side of the central atom. (To visualize, consider the three atoms in this \rm C=C=O bond as three spheres on a stick. The central \rm C atom would be between the other \rm C atom and the \rm O atom.)

This linear geometry corresponds to a bond angle of 180^\circ.

A students drawing of a nitrogen atom is shown. What change would make the model more accurate?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

C - show 7 neutrons in the nucleus

Explanation:

Use process of elimination:

-Answer A will not work because electrons are not in the nucleus.

-Answer B will change the atom's identity from nitrogen to fluorine; it will not work.

-Answer D will create a nitrogen ion, which is not what the prompt is asking for (an atom); it will not work.

The only logical answer is C, as that is the only one that is also true.

Leviafan [203]
One molecule of glucose has 6 carbon atoms. So if you have three molecules of glucose, simply multiply 3 by 6 carbon atoms. The correct answer is C. 18 Carbon atoms. 

The correct answer for the second questions is C. Air. A homogenous mixture is a mixture in which its components are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. It has a sigle phase.
