What shape would a molecule of carbon tetrachloride have?

Chemistry

Answer:

Tetrahedral

Explanation:

For the repulsion of the free electron pair theory, the shape of a molecule will be to repel the bonds and the free electrons on the central atom. In a molecule of carbon tetrachloride, the central atom (C) has no free electrons, so, the shape that repels better the charge is tetrahedral, as shown below.

Give the molecular geometry and number of electron groups for sf4. give the molecular geometry and number of electron groups for
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

5 electron groups, see saw

Explanation:

During the formation of SF4, the sulfur atom usually bonds with each of four fluorine atoms where 8 of valence electrons are used. The four fluorine atoms have 3 lone pairs of electrons in its octet which will further utilize 24 valence electrons. In addition, two electrons are present as a lone pair on the sulfur atom. We can determine sulfur’s hybridization state by counting of the number of regions of electron density on sulphur (the central atom in the molecule). When bonding takes place there is a formation of 4 single bonds to sulfur and it has 1 lone pair. Looking at this, we can say that the number of regions of electron density is 5. The hybridization state is sp3d.

SF4 molecular geometry is seesaw with one pair of valence electrons. The molecule is polar. The equatorial fluorine atoms have 102° bond angles instead of the actual 120° angle. The axial fluorine atom angle is 173° instead of the actual 180° bond angle.

The terms Q and K refer to reaction components at non-equilibrium and equilibrium conditions, respectively. For a forward reacti
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The value of Q must be less than that of K.

Explanation:

The difference of K and Q can be understood with the help of an example as follows

         A ⇄ B

In this reaction A is converted into B but after some A is converted , forward reaction stops At this point , let equilibrium concentration of B be [B] and let equilibrium concentration of A be [A]

In this case ratio of  [B] and  [A]  that is

K =  [B] / [A] which is called equilibrium constant.

But if we measure the concentration of A and B ,before equilibrium is reached , then the ratio of the concentration of A and B will be called Q. As reaction continues concentration of A increases and concentration of B decreases. Hence Q tends to be equal to K.

Q = [B] / [A] . It is clear that Q < K before equilibrium.

If Q < K , reaction will proceed towards equilibrium or forward reaction will

proceed .
