Answer:
Sulfate = tetrahedral
Explanation:
N° Geometry Formula
2 linear AX2
3 trigonal-planar AX3 or AX2E
4 tetrahedral AX4/AX3E/AX2E2
a) Nitrate = NO3-
⇒ AX3
⇒ bond angles = 120°
⇒ Coordination number = 3
⇒ Trigonal planar
b) Sulfate = SO42-
The central S
-atom has four electron domains. It has no lone pairs, so the electron geometry and the molecular geometry are tetrahedral.
⇒AX4
⇒ bond angles = 190.5°
⇒Coordination number = 4
⇒Tetrahedral
c) Chlorate = ClO3-
In ClO3-, the central atom is a Chlorine.
It has 7 valence electrons. The three oxygen form a double bond giving three bond pairs. The remaining two electrons make a lone pair. The total of 4 electron pairs shows that the molecule is sp3 hybridised.
The shape of sp3 hybrid molecule is a tetrahedral. But there is a lone pair. So, the geometry is <u>pyramidal</u>.
⇒AX4
⇒ bond angles = 190.5°
⇒Coordination number = 3
⇒pyramidal
Diffference between tetrahedral and pyramidal is that tetrahedral no has a lone pair, and has 4 atoms bonded to the central atom, while pyramidal has 1 lone pair and 3 atoms bonded to the central atom.
Sulfate has a tetrahedral geometry, which is a pyramidal structure
Answer:

Explanation:
Let's call the unknown compound X.
1. Calculate the mass of each element in 1.23383 g of X.
(a) Mass of C

(b) Mass of H

(c)Mass of Fe
(i)In 0.4131g of X

(ii) In 1.2383 g of X

(d)Mass of O
Mass of O = 1.2383 - 0.632 07 - 0.074 157 - 0.195 67 = 0.336 40 g
2. Calculate the moles of each element

3. Calculate the molar ratios
Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles.

4. Round the ratios to the nearest integer
C:H:O:Fe = 15:21:1:6
5. Write the empirical formula

Question 17
The subscript 2 is the atomic number for helium and subscript 4 is the mass number for Helium
<u><em>explanation</em></u>
when writing down an isotope of an element the mass number of that isotope is written in upper side of the chemical symbol, while atomic number is written on the lower side.
Since 4 is on upper side it is the mass number of He, while 2 is the atomic number since it is on lower side.
Question 18
The type of radiation emitted when polonium -212 form lead 208 is an alpha particle
<u><em>explanation</em></u>
Alpha decay is a decay in which an atomic nuclei emit an alpha particles and be transformed into different atomic nuclei with a mass number that is reduced by 4
polonium 212 is reduced by 4 to form lead 208 therefore it undergo alpha particle decay.
