Answer:
The molecule has a bent geometry
Explanation:
Let us look again at the principles of VSEPR theory. The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.
Lone pairs distort the molecular geometry away from what is expected on the basis of VSEPR theory.
The molecule described in the question has the form AEX2. Two substituents and one lone pair form three electron domains around the central atom. The expected geometry is trigonal planar but the observed molecular geometry is bent because of the lone pairs present.
It has mass and takes up space is correct.
Answer:
The range of atoms = (30-300 pm) depending upon the element
Explanation:
The Atomic radii of the atom is the distance from the center of the circle to the outermost orbital.
The center of the circle is the nucleus and the radii is the outermost boundary.
The actual size of the atom is decided on the basis of the Zeff . Also known as <em>effective nuclear charge.</em>
<em>Zeff: It is the net positive charge felt by the outermost electron by the nucleus.</em>
<em>The value of Zeff depends upon the shielding constant. More the shielding less will be the Zeff . Hence the size of the atom increases.</em>
Due to shielding the outermost electrons feel less pull of nucleus.
<em>The greater the Zeff , the smaller the radius of the atom.</em>
The formula used to calculate the atomic mass is :
pm
Here "pm"= picometers

<u>The size of the smallest atom H-atom = 120 pm</u>
<u>The range of atoms = (30-300 pm)</u>
Answer:
it would break when it hits the ground
Explanation:
A solution is prepared by adding 1.43 mol of potassium chloride (kcl) to 889 g of water. The concentration of kcl is 1.61 molal.
mol of Kcl (potassium chloride)= 1.43
water = 889 g
the formula for calculating molality is:
molality = moles of solute/kilograms of solvent
1kg = 1000g so, 889g = 0.889kg
m = 1.43/0.889 = 1.61 molal
