Answer:
Lone pairs cause bond angles to deviate away from the ideal bond angles
Explanation:
Bonded electrons are stabilized and clustered between the bonding electrons meaning they are much closer together. Non-bonding electrons however are not being shared between any atoms which allows them to roam a little further spreading the charge density over a larger space and therefore interfering with what would be an expected bond angle
Answer:
Total distance = 400+700+1200= 2300km
Explanation:
the resultant of d 1st right angle triangle + 1200
= 806.2 + 1200 = 2006.2km

Electron configurations:
Ge: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p2 => 6 electrons in the outer shell
Br: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p5 => 7 electrons in the outer shell
Kr: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p6 => 8 electrons in the outer shell
The electron affinity or propension to attract electrons is given by the electronic configuration. Remember that the most stable configuration is that were the last shell is full, i.e. it has 8 electrons.
The closer an atom is to reach the 8 electrons in the outer shell the bigger the electron affinity.
Of the three elements, Br needs only 1 electron to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has the biggest electron affinity (the least negative).
Ge: needs 2 electrons to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has a smaller (more negative) electron affinity than Br.
Kr, which is a noble gas, has 8 electrons and is not willing to attract more electrons at all, the it has the lowest (more negative) electron affinity of all three to the extension that really the ion is so unstable that it does not make sense to talk about a number for the electron affinity of this atom.
If the spaceship's Physicist happens to be hanging out of one side
of the ship, and he measures the speed of the photons as they pass
him and leave the ship, he'll see them passing him at 'c' ... the speed
of light.
When those photons pass somebody who happens to be in their
path, and he decides to measure their speed, he'll see them move
past him at 'c' ... the speed of light.
It doesn't matter whether the observer who measures them is
moving, or at what speed.
And it doesn't matter what source the photons come from, or
whether the source is moving, or at what speed.
And it doesn't matter what the photons' wavelength/frequency is ...
anything from radio to gamma rays.
The photons pass everybody at 'c' ... the speed of light.
Yes, I hear you. That can't be true. It's crazy.
Maybe it's crazy, but it's true.
