Answer:
The given molecules are SO2 and BrF5.
Explanation:
Consider the molecule SO2:
The central atom is S.
The number of domains on S in this molecule is three.
Domain geometry is trigonal planar.
But there is a lone pair on the central atom.
So, according to VSEPR theory,
the molecular geometry becomes bent or V-shape.
Hybridization on the central atom is
.
Consider the molecule BrF5:
The central atom is Br.
The number of domains on the central atom is six.
Domain geometry is octahedral.
But the central atom has a lone pair of electrons.
So, the molecular geometry becomes square pyramidal.
The hybridization of the central atom is
.
The shapes of SO2 and BrF5 are shown below:
Answer:
A decrease in [H3O+] and an increase in pH (option a)
Explanation:
Equilibrium of water is shown in this equation
2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
When you add NaOH, you are modifying [OH⁻]
NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻
In equilibrium of water, the [OH⁻] increases
2H₂O ⇄ ↓ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻ ↑
As the [OH⁻] increases, by Le Chatellier, the equilibrium tends to decrease [H₃O⁺].
If the [OH⁻] is higher, pH is also high so the solution of water and sodium hydroxide would be totally basic.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The cell is the basic structural, functional and biological unit of all known living organisms. Cells are the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing, and are often called the "building blocks of life.
