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.

E

All the other chices give evidence that supports that hypothesisthat the Moon was made of material that was flung off Earth during a time when it was rapidly spinning.

Explanation:

There is an enormous amount of similarities between the minerals in the moon rocks and the rocks on earth, except that for some minerals, like potassium, their quantities are higher on the earth than on the moon.

However, there is still supports for the evidence (by the other choices) that the moon was made from a piece of earth ejected from asteroid impact in primordial earth.Explanation:It’s believed that more than 3.5 billion years during the formation of earth and before it had cooled there were frequent asteroid impacts and one enormous collision ejected a large piece of molten earth into space but within earth’s gravity influence. This piece formed the moon. Evidence of asteroid impacts are frozen in time on the moon surface thanks to the fact that the moon has no atmosphere or tectonic plates movements that wipe off this ‘evidence’.

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Synthesis

Explanation:

 The reaction:

                 2Mg + O₂   →   2MgO

This reaction above is a synthesis or combination reaction. In such reaction, several products combines to give a single product.

The formation of a single product from two or more reactants is classified under this type of reaction

The driving force for this reaction type is the large and negative heat of formation of the product.
