It is important to have the correct bond angles of the different atoms and the shape of the molecule due to following reasons;

                  Among other properties the polarity of compounds mainly depend upon the shape and bond angles of that particular compound. For example, considering the molecule of water, we already know that it is a polar molecule with partially positive hydrogen atoms and partially negative oxygen atoms and acts as universal solvent. The bond angle in water is about 104.5° with a Bent geometry. Unlike carbon dioxide (CO₂) which has Linear structure with bond angle 180° and is non-polar in nature therefore, the bent geometry in water is responsible for the polarity.

                  Other properties which can also be predicted by predicting the bond angles along with molecular geometries are;

                                      i) Magnetism

                                      ii) Phase of matter

                                       iii) Color

                                      iv) Reactivity

                                       v) Biological activities <em>e.t.c</em>

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

False

Classify each of the following as a strong acid or a weak acid and indicate how each should be written in aqueous solution. Clas
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

HCN, weak acid

H⁺, Br⁻, strong acid

Explanation:

Hydrocyanic acid is a weak acid, according to the following equation.

HCN(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq)

Thus, it should be written in the undissociated form (HCN).

Hydrobromic acid is a strong acid, according to the following equation.

HBr(aq) ⇒ H⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

Thus, it should be written in the ionic form (H⁺, Br⁻).

#a

  • Zinc displaces copper

It means

  • Zinc is more reactive than copper

#b

  • Zinc+Copper sulphate--> Zinc sulphate+Copper

#c

No reaction because

  • Magnesium is more reactive than zinc

#d

Reaction occurs

  • Iron is more reactive than copper
  • Magnesium is more reactive than iron

Order:-

  • Cu<Fe<Zn<Mg
