I would say the answer is C. The number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom is greater in the case of water.

Answer is: C) the fact that the number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom is greater in the case of water.

Carbon(IV) oxide is nonpolar because CO₂ is linear molecule and the oxygen atoms are symmetrical (bond angles 180°).

Water is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule.

Oxygen atom in water molecule has sp3 hybridization. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°.

Oxygen atom has atomic number 8, it means it has eight protons and eight electrons, so atom has neutral charge. Oxygen is a nonmetal.

Electron configuration of oxygen atom: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.

Oxygen atom has six valence electrons , two lone pairs and two electrons that form two sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.

Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6, which means it has 6 protons and six electrons. Four valence electrons are in 2s and 2p orbitals.  

Electron configuration of carbon atom: ₆C 1s² 2s² 2p².  

In carbon dioxide, carban has sp hybridization with no lone pairs.

yarga [219]
  H2SO4  is an  acid

the  chemical  equation  showing  how H2SO4  is an acid  according  to the Arrhenius  definition   is as below

H2SO4  dissociate to  give  2H^+  and  SO4^2-

that is   H2SO4  = 2H^+  +  SO4^2-

According to Arrhenius  an acid  dissociate  to give H^+  ions H2SO4 is an acid  since  it dissociate  to  give  two hydrogen ions

For all of the following questions 20.00 mL of 0.200 M HBr is titrated with 0.200 M KOH.
HACTEHA [7]

Answer :

The concentration of H^+ before any titrant added to our starting material is 0.200 M.

The pH based on this H^+ ion concentration is 0.698

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the concentration of H^+ before any titrant is added to our starting material.

As we are given:

Concentration of HBr = 0.200 M

As we know that the HBr is a strong acid that dissociates complete to give hydrogen ion H^+ and bromide ion Br^-.

As, 1 M of HBr dissociates to give 1 M of H^+

So, 0.200 M of HBr dissociates to give 0.200 M of H^+

Thus, the concentration of H^+ before any titrant added to our starting material is 0.200 M.

Now we have to calculate the pH based on this H^+ ion concentration.

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (0.200)

pH=0.698

Thus, the pH based on this H^+ ion concentration is 0.698

Which of the following Period 4 elements has the most metallic characteristics?
stealth61 [152]
The scale of most metal characteristics goes from the bottom left-hand corner.

The least metallic is the top right-hand.

So then that means that

Calcium-YES, second column
Germanium-No, to far, in the middle
Arsenic-Non-metal,
Bromine, same for this

Calcium

Calculate the ph of a 0.021 m nacn solution. [ka(hcn) = 4.9  10–10]
ohaa [14]

<span>Answer is: pH of solution of sodium cyanide is 11.3.
Chemical reaction 1: NaCN(aq) → CN</span>⁻(aq) + Na⁺<span>(aq).
Chemical reaction 2: CN</span>⁻ + H₂O(l) ⇄ HCN(aq) + OH⁻<span>(aq).
c(NaCN) = c(CN</span>⁻<span>) = 0.021 M.
Ka(HCN) =  4.9·10</span>⁻¹⁰<span>.
Kb(CN</span>⁻) = 10⁻¹⁴ ÷ 4.9·10⁻¹⁰ = 2.04·10⁻⁵<span>.
Kb = [HCN] · [OH</span>⁻] / [CN⁻<span>].
[HCN] · [OH</span>⁻<span>] = x.
[CN</span>⁻<span>] = 0.021 M - x..
2.04·10</span>⁻⁵<span> = x² / (0.021 M - x).
Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH</span>⁻<span>] = 0.00198 M.
pOH = -log(0.00198 M) = 2.70.
pH = 14 - 2.70 = 11.3.</span>
