When a piece of sodium metal is kept in water in chemical equation

2 answers:

7 0

Explanation:

Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless basic solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The reaction continues even when the solution becomes basic. The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide.

According to VSEPR theory, if there are three electron domains in the valence shell of an atom, they will be arranged in a(n) __

wolverine [178]

Answer: B. trigonal planar

Explanation:

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR) is a model to predict the geometry of the atoms making up a molecule where atoms are arranged such that the forces of repulsion are minimum.

If a central atom is bound to three electron domains ,the number of electron pairs is 3, that means the hybridization will be $sp^2$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar as the electron pairs will repel each other and attain a position which is most stable.
