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>

In atomic solids where the lattice points are occupied by Group 8 ( 18) atoms, the atoms are held together by __________ forces.
shtirl [24]

Answer:

London dispersion forces

Explanation:

There are different forces of attraction that helps to hold atoms or Molecules of a particular substance together. Some of the forces of attraction are ionic/ electrovalent bond, covalent bond, vander waals forces of attraction and so on.

Under the vander waals forces of attraction we have what is known as the London dispersion forces. This force of attraction is a very weak and it is commonly found in the atoms of noble gases.

The intermolecular force of attraction in which we are talking about that is london dispersion forces is formed as a result of the formation of non-polar dipoles which are not permanent.

Positive Deviation from Raoult's Law occurs when the vapour pressure of component is greater than what is expected in Raoult's L
8090 [49]

Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

In positive deviation from Raoult's  Law occur when the vapour pressure of components is greater than what is expected value in Raoult's law.

When a solution is non ideal then it shows positive or negative deviation.

Let two solutions A and B to form non- ideal solutions.let the vapour pressure  of component A is P_A and vapour pressure of component B is P_B.

P^0_A= Vapour pressure of component A in pure form

P^0_B= Vapour pressure of component B in pure form

x_A=Mole fraction of component A

x_B==Mole fraction of component B

The interaction between A- B is less than the interaction A- A and B-B interaction.Therefore, the escaping tendency of liquid molecules in mixture is greater than the escaping tendency in pure form.Hence, the vapour pressure of a mixture is greater than the initial value of vapour pressure.

P_A >P^0_A\cdot x_A,P_B>P^0_B\cdot x_B

Therefore, P_A+P_B >P^0_A\cdot x_A+P^0_B \cdot x_B

Therefore, the enthalpy of mixing is greater than zero and change in volume is greater than zero.

Hence, option a,b,c and d are true.
