Answer: The correct answer is "B" two bonding domains(or bonding pairs) or two non bonding domains(or lone pairs)

Explanation:

Molecular geometry/structure is a three dimensional shape of a molecule. It is basically an arrangement of atoms in a molecule.It is determined by the central atom, its surrounding atoms and electron pairs.According to VSEPR theory, there are 5 basic shapes of a molecule: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral.

A)Four bonding domains and zero non bonding domains: shape is tetrahedral and bond angle is 109.5°

B)Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains(lone pairs): shape is bent and bond angle is 104.5°

C)Three bonding domains and one non bonding domain: shape is trigonal pyramidal and bond angle is 107°

D)Two bonding domain and zero non bonding domain: shape is linear and bond angle is 107°

E)Two bonding domain and one non bonding domain: bent shape and bond angle is 120°

F)Three bonding domains and zero nonbonding domain: shape is trigonal planar and bond angle is 120°

Hence Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains have the smallest bond angle.

The reactions of glycolysis occur in the cell's ________; the reactions of the citric acid cycle occur in the ________.
Reil [10]

Answer:

The reactions of glycolysis occur in the cell's <u>cytoplasm</u>; the reactions of the citric acid cycle occur in the <u>mitochondria</u>.

Explanation:

<em><u>Explanations of some terms</u></em>

Glycolysis

Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol of the cell's cytoplasm. Glycolysis starts when glucose diffuses into a cell through the plasma membrane down its concentration gradient. Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway present in all organisms: from yeast to mammals that involves the oxidation of glucose molecules, the single most important organic fuel in plants, and animals to pyruvate with the generation of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) and NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide + hydrogen)

Citric acid cycle

Citric acid cycle also known as the Krebs cycle plays a major role in the process of energy production and biosynthesis as it oxidizes glucose derivatives, fatty acids and amino acids to carbon dioxide.

The weight of 100g H2 and 100 g He is same yet the number of elements is not same.​
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The mole and atonmicity of both the gases are different, the number of atoms is not same.

Explanation:

The number of atoms in a molecule (compound) depends on mole number and atomicity.

↬ Mole of 100 g H₂ = 100g ÷ 2u = 50 mole

∴Number of atoms in 100 g H₂

= 2 x 50 x 6.022 × 10²³

= 6.022 x 10²⁴ atoms

↬ Mole of 100 g He = 100g ÷ 4u = 25 mole

∴ Number of atoms in 100 g He

= 1 × 25 × 6.022 × 10²³

= 150.55 × 10²³

= 1.5055 x 10²⁵ atoms

Thus, The mole and atonmicity of both the gases are different, the number of atoms is not same.
