Answer : The correct option is, 2 atoms and 2 lone pairs; 2 atoms and 1 lone pair

Explanation :

In type AB_3, when bond pair of electrons is 2 and lone pair of electrons is 1 then the electron domain geometry is Trigonal planar and molecular geometry is Bent.

In type AB_4, when bond pair of electrons is 2 and lone pair of electrons is 2 then the electron domain geometry is Tetrahedral and molecular geometry is Bent.

Hence, a molecule having 2 atoms and 2 lone pair have the same molecular geometry as that of the molecule having 2 atoms and 1 lone pair.

The table is shown below.

The correct answer is:
2 atoms and 2 lone pairs; 2 atoms and 1 lone pair.
Both AX₂E₂ and AX₂E have different electron domain geometry; AX₂E₂ is tetrahedral and AX₂E is trigonal planar but both of them has the same molecular geometry Bent

Which salt is produced when NH4OH Reacts with HNO3
borishaifa [10]

Explanation:

When an acid reacts with a base then it results in the formation of salt and water.

HNO_{3} is an acid and NH_{4}OH is a base thus, when we dissolve ammonium hydroxide in nitric acid then it results in the formation of ammonium nitrate and water.

The reaction is as follows.

 NH_{4}OH + HNO_{3} \rightarrow NH_{4}NO_{3} + H_{2}O

Hence, there will be formation of ammonium nitrate (NH_{4}NO_{3}) salt.

A calorimeter contains 100 g of water at 39.8 ºC. A 8.23 g object at 50 ºC is placed inside the calorimeter. When equilibrium ha
Tju [1.3M]
When equilibrium has been reached so, according to this formula we can get the specific heat of the unknown metal and from it, we can define the metal as each metal has its specific heat:

Mw*Cw*ΔTw = Mm*Cm*ΔTm

when 
Mw → mass of water
Cw → specific heat of water
ΔTw → difference in temperature for water 

Mm→ mass of metal
Cw→ specific heat of the metal
ΔTm → difference in temperature for metal

by substitution:

100g * 4.18 * (40-39.8) = 8.23 g * Cm * (50-40)

∴ Cm = 83.6 / 82.3 = 1.02 J/g.°C

when the Cm of the Magnesium ∴ the unknown metal is Mg

1. What happens when like charges are brought closer to each other?<br><br><br>​
deff fn [24]
Like charges repel each other; unlike charges attract. Thus, two negative charges repel one another, while a positive charge attracts a negative charge. The attraction or repulsion acts along the line between the two charges. The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges.
