Now that we have a background in the Lewis electron dot structure we can use it to locate the the valence electrons of the center atom. The valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory states that electron pairs repel each other whether or not they are in bond pairs or in lone pairs. Thus, electron pairs will spread themselves as far from each other as possible to minimize repulsion. VSEPR focuses not only on electron pairs, but it also focus on electron groups as a whole. An electron group can be an electron pair, a lone pair, a single unpaired electron, a double bond or a triple bond on the center atom. Using the VSEPR theory, the electron bond pairs and lone pairs on the center atom will help us predict the shape of a molecule.
The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons. The electrons and the nuclei settle into positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction. Thus, the molecule's shape reflects its equilibrium state in which it has the lowest possible energy in the system. Although VSEPR theory predicts the distribution of the electrons, we have to take in consideration of the actual determinant of the molecular shape. We separate this into two categories, the electron-group geometry and the molecular geometry.
Answer:
When excess of carbon dioxide is passed in lime water, calcium carbonate is converted to calcium bicarbonate which is soluble, hence the milkiness due to calcium carbonate disappears.
Explanation:
Ca(OH)2+CO2 → CaCO3 (Milkiness) ↓+H2O
CaCO3+H2O+CO2 → Ca(HCO3)2 (soluble)
What is the average velocity of atoms in 1.00 mol of argon (a monatomic gas) at 275 k for m, use 0.0399kg
Answer: The average velocity of the atoms 847.33 m/s.
Explanation:
Moles of the neon = 1.00
Temperature of the gas : 288 K
Mass of the gas = 0.01000
R = 8.31 J/mol K
The average velocity of the atoms 847.33 m/s.
Answer:
Option B. is the right answer.
Explanation:
Before developing a new technology, an engineer has to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the chemical used in order to clean water bodies. If the chemical has more disadvantages as compared to advantages, so its usage will be avoided while if the chemical does not harm the marine organisms of the ocean so it can be used for the purpose of cleaning. So we can say that first the engineer has to study the chemicals.
