How does a lone pair distort the molecular shape?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Paul [167]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D. The lone pair forces bonding atoms away from itself.

Explanation:

The lone pairs are found in the outermost shell thereby making sharing of electrons easier. Lone pairs which are found in a covalent bond creates a bond angle which makes it a determinant of the bond angle.

The lone pairs which are negatively charged repulses the bond pairs thereby creating a distortion in the shape of the molecule.

The lone pairs creates the distortion by forcing bonding atoms away from itself.

2. How much heat is released when 432g of water cools down from 710C to 180C?
nadya68 [22]
The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference AT

is Q = mC,AT

where

m=432 g is the mass of the water

C, = 4.18J/gºC

is the specific heat capacity of water

AT = 71°C -18°C = 530

is the decrease of temperature of the water

Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find

Q = (4329)(4.18J/9°C)(53°C) = 9.57. 104J

and this is the amount of heat released by the water.
