It showed that the nucleus is positively charged, and that the atom isn't just made of electrons.
Transition metals are from group 3 to group 12.
Answer:
The central atom has 3 electron domains.
Explanation:
According to the Valence Shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR) put forward by Gillespie and Nyholm in 1957, the shape of a molecule is determined by repulsion between all the electron pairs (electron domains) present in the valence shell.
The electron pairs or electron domains are known to position themselves as far apart in space as possible in order to minimize repulsions.
Hence, when the central atom of a molecule contains three electron domains, they are positioned at an angle of 120° from each other to minimize repulsions. Hence the answer.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Element A has 3 electrons in outermost shell so its valency is 3. It will loose 3 electrons to attain stability, as loss of 3 electrons is easier than gain of 5 electrons.
Valency of B is −2 as it will gain 2 electrons to attain stability and combine with other atom.
Valency of A⟶+3
Valency of B⟶−2
(Refer to Image)
Cross multiply valency of A and B
∴A2B3 compound will be formed.
