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:
Gaseous
Explanation:
Gasses can move freely and do not form the shape of their containers
Liquids are more free than solids, but they conform to the shape of their container
Solids are not free
Answer:
The water phase with the smallest temperature increase when adding 10 kcal of heat is solid ice.
Explanation:
The rest of the statements are incorrect. The density of ice is lower than the density of water. The heat capacity of solid ice is greater almost twice the heat capacity of the liquid water. The heat capacity of vapors is less than heat capacity of liquid.
A quantitative observation is not necessarily more useful than a non-quantitative one. However, quantitative observations do allow one to find trends.
(a), the sun rising is a non-quantitative observation.
(b), knowledge of the numerical relationship between the weight on the Moon and on Earth, is a quantitative observation.
(c), watching ice float on water does not involve a measurement; therefore, it must be a qualitative observation.
(d) the fact that we know that the water pump won’t work for depths more than 34 feet makes it quantitative. Again, seeing numbers is a giveaway that it’s a quantitative <span>observation. Quantitative is where you deal with numbers.</span>
