Answer:

bent

Explanation:

Let’s take the example of SO₂, here the central S atom has 6 valence electrons. S uses 1 pair of electron to form a double bond with each O atom. So, S in total uses four of its valence electrons to form two double bonds with two O atoms. Now after bond formation two electrons are still left on S, thus S has a lone pair of electron. In the absence of a lone pair of electron on S, SO₂ would have a linear structure, O=S=O. However, the lone pair-bond pair repulsion causes SO₂ to have a bent structure.

Which best describes the oxidizing agent in this reaction? Cl2(aq) + 2Br(aq) 2Cl(aq) + Br2(aq) Bromine (Br) is the oxidizing age
steposvetlana [31]
Answer:
            <span>Chlorine (Cl) is the oxidizing agent because it gains an electron.

Explanation:
                   Reaction is as follow,

</span><span>                     Cl</span>₂<span> (aq)  +  2 Br</span>⁻<span> (aq)    </span>→   <span> 2Cl(aq)  +  Br</span>₂ <span>(aq)

Oxidation Reaction:

                                    2 Br</span>⁻     →     Br₂  +  2 e⁻

Two atoms of Br⁻ (Bromide) looses two electrons to form Br₂ molecule. Hence it is oxidized and is acting as reducing agent.

Reduction Reaction:

                                   Cl₂  +  2 e⁻    →     2 Cl⁻

One molecule of Cl₂ gains two electrons to form two chloride ions (Cl⁻). Therefore, it is reduced and has oxidized Br⁻, Hence, acting as a oxidizing agent.
