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.

Illusion [34]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The<u> diffusion </u>occurs in room.

  • <u>Oder molecules move from their highest concentration to lowest concentration.</u>
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Diffusion is a process by which molecules move down their concentration gradient. The process does not require any membrane.

So corner with perfume has high concentration of odor molecules. Hence they move to other corner with low concentration of molecules.

What is the angular momentum of last electron of chromium?
damaskus [11]

Answer:

expected configuration for Cr is

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d4

but in real, it is

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1 3d5

electron from 4s orbital jumps to 3d orbital to get stable configuration.

so the last electron comes in 3d orbital as filling of 3d takes place after filling of 4s orbital.

Hence,quantum numbers for last electron in Cr is :-

n = 3

l = 2

m = +2

s = +1/2

What properties of water would help water travel up the leaf?
Anna [14]
The high surface tension of water pulls the concavity outwards, generating enough force to lift water from the roots to the leaves of plants. Thus, Cohesion, along with adhesion and surface tension creates a capillary action that keeps water molecules interacting and moving through the plants out to the leaf cells.
