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:
A. True
B. True
C. False
D. False
Explanation:
Electrons travel around the nucleus in circular orbits and moves from one orbit to another orbit when they absorb energy or lose energy. The Bohr atom is the model currently accepted for electrons in atoms because this model provides the right information about presence of electrons around the orbits. Scientists know the energies of electrons as well as the areas (orbitals) where the electrons are probably located with the help of new technology.
