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.

1. Which of the following is a combination reaction?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter A

Explanation:

A combination reaction is when there are two reactants that gives only one product.

a. 2SO2 + O2—> 2SO3                          This is a combination reaction,

                                                               2 reactants gives one product.

b. Zn + Cu(NO3)2–>Zn(NO3)2 + Cu     This is not a combination reaction,

                                                                it's a single replacement reaction.

c. 2H2O2–> 2H2O+O2                          This is a decomposition reaction

d. AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCl+NaNO3        THis is a double replacement reaction.

nignag [31]

In the given case, the scientist should use a circle graph or pie chart.  

One can dissect a circle into smaller segments, a component of the circle is known as an arc and an arc is named on the basis of its angle. A pie chart, or a circle graph, is used to visualize data and information.  

A circle graph is generally used to demonstrate the outcomes of an examination in a proportional way. In a circle graph, the arcs are proportional to how many percents of the population gave a particular answer.
