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]3 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.

Sound source A has a deciBel rating of 50 dB. Sound source B is 1000 times more intense. What is the deciBel rating of B
masha68 [24]

The decibel system of sound intensity operates by a logarithmic scale, meaning that sound intensity increases exponentially in relation to the decibel rating.

For decibels, the equation between intensity and the dB equivalent is:

dB = 10log(i),

where “i” is the intensity of the sound. The ten in front of the log means that an increase in ten dB results in a tenfold increase in sound intensity; for example, a 30 dB sound is ten times softer than a 40 dB sound.

In this case, a sound with a dB of 80 would be 1000 times more intense than a 50 dB sound, so the decibel rating of B is 80.

Hope this helps!

What is the overall moment?
Setler79 [48]
A moment causes a rotation about or axis. If the moment is to be taken about a point due to a force F, then in order for a moment to develop, the line of action cannot pass through that point...... the total moment was zero because the moment arm was zero as well

A low C (f=65Hz) is sounded on a piano. If the length of the piano wire is 2.0 m and
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

T = 676 N

Explanation:

Given that: f = 65 Hz, L = 2.0 m, and ρ = 5.0 g/m^{2} = 0.005 kg

A stationary wave that is set up in the string has a frequency of;

f = \frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{M} }

⇒      T = 4L^{2}f^{2}M

Where: t is the tension in the wire, L is the length of the wire, f is the frequency of the waves produced by the wire and M is the mass per unit length of the wire.

But M = L × ρ = (2 × 0.005) = 0.01 kg/m

T = 4 × 2^{2} ×65^{2} × 0.01

   = 4 × 4 ×4225 × 0.01

   = 676 N

Tension of the wire is 676 N.

Which of Earth's spheres have the greatest impact from the forest fire?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
I would say the atmosphere because air and oxygen are essential for human life however it is debatable. You should check out this prezi and judge for yourself which sphere is effected the most from forest fires based on the descriptions on how a forest fire effects all four spheres.
