Why does a lone pair of electrons occupy more space around a central atom than a bonding pair of electrons?

Physics
1 answer:
Inessa [10]2 years ago

Answer:

The lone pair of electrons occupy more space because the electrostatic force becomes weaker.

Explanation:

When there is a bond pair of electrons in the 2 positively charged the atomic nuclei draw the electron density towards them, thereby reducing the bond diameter.

In the case of the lone pair, only 1 nucleus is present, and the enticing electrostatic force becomes weaker and the intensity of the electrons will be increases. Therefore, the lone pair occupies more space than the pair of bonds.

This is the period in a simple harmonic motion which is 2 seconds in this question.

<h3>What is Period ?</h3>

The period of an oscillatory object can be defined as the total time taken  by a vibrating body to make one complete revolution about a reference point.

We are given the below question

2×3.14√(1.0m/(9.8〖ms〗^(2) )= T

This question can as well be expressed as

2π√(L/g) which is equal to period T.

In a nut shell, Period T = 2×3.14√(1.0m/9.8)

T = 6.28√0.102

T = 6.28 × 0.32

T = 2.006 s

Therefore, the period T of the oscillation is 2 seconds approximately.

A force of 30.0 N is applied to a 3.00 kg object for 3.00 seconds. Calculate the velocity experienced by the object.
olganol [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma and

a=\frac{v}{t}

We have F, we have m, but in order to solve for v, we need a.

30.0 = 3.00a so

a = 10.0 m/s/s. Plug that in for a in the second equation and solve for v:

10.0=\frac{v}{3.00} so

v = 10.0(3.00) so

v = 30.0 m/s

Basalt, formed from magma, contains iron-rich minerals. Why is this important?
Svetach [21]
Iron is a magnetic metal, and it is essential to the Earth's magnetic field!
Essentially it "records" (stores the information, maintains) the direction and orientation of the magnetic field.

Among others, the magnetic field protects the Earth from dangerous cosmic rays.
