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.

Answer:

His mistake was that he also gave the plants  in the music room some fertilizer

Explanation:

When carrying out a reliable experiment, the only variable should be the question being tested. The question here is whether playing music for plants helps them grow faster. Therefore, all the plants should be grown in exactly the same conditions apart from the presence or absence of music.

However, Jo also added fertilizer to the plants in the room where music was playing. Therefore, we don't know whether the fertilizer or the music caused the plants to grow faster.

Instead, Jo should have not given fertilizer to any of the plants, or given fertilizer to all the plants.

The nucleoside adenosine exists in a protonated form with a pKa of 3.8. The percentage of the protonated form at pH 4.8 is close
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Ok:

Explanation:

So, you can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for this:

pH = pKa + log(A^-/HA) where A- is the conjugate base of the acid. In other words, A- is the deprotonated form and HA is the protonated.

We can solve that

1 = log(A^-/HA\\) and so 10 = A^-/HA or 10HA = A-.  For every 1 protonated form of adenosine (HA), there are 10 A-. So, the percent in the protonated form will be 1(1+10) or 1/11 which is close to 9 percent.

REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to this. Let's analize the possible products a, b and c.

First, the problem states that we have 2 eq. of base, For this case, let's assume it's KOH. Now, As we are doing a reaction with base, means that this reaction can only take places under conditions of SN2 and E2, a fast reaction that is taking place in only 1 step.

With this in mind, let's analyze product a. This states that it has two sp hybridized carbon, in other words, a triple bond between two carbons. So the product is with no doubt, an alkyne.

Product b has only one sp hybridized carbon, which means that this carbon should cannot be an alkyne because we need two carbon atoms. The only way to have one atom of C sp hybridized, is with two double bonds, so product b would have to a alkene with two double bonds.

Product c do not have sp hybridized carbon, therefore, it only has two double bonds in two different Carbon atoms, so it's another alkene with two double bonds, but in two different atoms of carbon.

Picture attached show the product a, b and c. Hope this can help
