Answer:
The molecule has a bent geometry
Explanation:
Let us look again at the principles of VSEPR theory. The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.
Lone pairs distort the molecular geometry away from what is expected on the basis of VSEPR theory.
The molecule described in the question has the form AEX2. Two substituents and one lone pair form three electron domains around the central atom. The expected geometry is trigonal planar but the observed molecular geometry is bent because of the lone pairs present.
Answer: 21 lawns per week
Explanation:
The average weekly rate refers to how many lawns were mowed per week given that 233 were done in 11 weeks.
Rate will be given by;
= Lawns mowed / Weeks taken
= 233 / 11
= 21 lawns per week
