Answer:

b. A hydrogen sulfide molecule has lone pairs of electrons

Explanation:

The presence of lone pairs indictates that the molecule will be polar unless its molecular geometry is linear or square planar. In the case of H2S, its shape is bent due to the lone pair and it is a slightly polar molecule.

According to Darwin’s theory if evolution, which organism are Best able to survive in nature
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Organism best adapted to the environment are able to survive in nature!

Explanation:

Suppose there was a green forest but after a volcano eruption all the green colored vegetation is lost and the area turns black . Now some organisms did survive...you have a black rat, and a white rat. You also have vultures flying in sky looking for prey. Overtime, the organism best adapted to environment can reproduce more and survive in nature. In our example, the black rats are the best adapted because their color matches with the environment so the eagles or vultures would have a hard time spotting them, whereas, a white rat in a black environment can be easily spotted so it has less adaptation to the nature.

what noble gas electron configuration is achieved by the bromine atoms in a molecule of BR2, a diatomic element?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

answer: Krypton

Explanation:

In bromine molecule bromine atom achieved Krypton electron configuration because before forming bromine molecule it had only 35 electron but after formaion molecule one elctron is shared by other bromine atom and after that bromine has 36 elecron which resembles with Krypton atomic number hence electronic configuration also achieved is same as Krypton.
