Oxygen dichloride molecule consists  of an oxygen atom and two chlorine atoms. According to the VSEPR theory, the 3-D shape of the compound is bent.

There are 6 valence electrons in the oxygen atom and each chlorine atom has 1 valence electrons. Therefore, there are 8 valence electrons or 4 pairs of valence electrons.

According to VSEPR theory, due repulsion between 4 pairs of valence electrons, bond angle between two O-Cl bonds becomes 110 degrees and the shape of the molecule of the compound becomes bent.

Comparing weak acids and strong acids of equal concentrations which of the following statements is true The pH of the weak acid
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

the true statement is... The pH of the weak acid will be higher than the pH of the strong acid

Explanation:

pH is a measured of the extent to which acids dissociate into ions when plced in aqueous solution.

Strong acid dissociate near-completely, and weak acids barely dissociate.

At equal concentrations, a strong acid will have a lower pH than a weak acid, since the strong one will donate more proton to the solution.

Ana drives at a speed of 175m/s. she recorded a distance of 2km. Find the time.
pantera1 [17]

The time it took her to drive 2 km is 11.43 seconds, because sonverting kilometers to meters, it is 1000 meters to every kilometer, and she travels 2 kilometers, which is two-thousand meters. Then to find the time you need to divide the time by the speed, and with that you get 11.4285714286, or 11.43 seconds.

Isn’t urgent the first 3 will be marked BRAINIEST
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Al2(SO4)3 and Mg(OH)2

Explanation:

1. Al has a charge of 3-, and SO4 of 2-

when you cross multiply the charges you get

Al2 and (SO4)3

*the reason theres a bracket around the sulfate ion is that the charge 3 is not for oxygen only, but the entire sulphate ion*

Hence, Al2(SO4)3

2. Mg has a charge of 2- and OH of 1-

again cross multiply

Mg (you dont need to add the 1) and (OH)2

again, the bracket around OH means the charge appiles to Oxygen AND hydrogen

hence, Mg(OH)2

What would be the volume in millilitres of a blood sample of 2.15 microliters (ul)?​
Zanzabum

2.15 x 10⁻³mL

Explanation:

Given parameter:

    Volume of blood sample in uL = 2.15uL

Conversion           uL → mL

   micro- and milli-  are both prefixes of sub-units.

liter is a unit of volume of a substance.

       micro - is 10⁻⁶

       milli- is of the order 10⁻³

The problem is converting from micro to milli:

     if we multiply  10⁻⁶ by 10³ we would have our milli;

  1000uL = 1mL

  2.15uL :   2.15uL x \frac{1mL}{1000uL} = 2.15 x 10⁻³mL

When magnesium metal is heated in air it begins to release large amounts of heat and light. What kind of a reaction is this an e
Salsk061 [2.6K]
It is called exothermic reaction because it releases heat and light and it is called combustion reaction because it is reacting and is being oxidised by O2 to MgO. It can also be called as oxidation reaction since Mg is oxidised to MgO.
