Answer:
The molecule has a bent geometry
Explanation:
Let us look again at the principles of VSEPR theory. The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.
Lone pairs distort the molecular geometry away from what is expected on the basis of VSEPR theory.
The molecule described in the question has the form AEX2. Two substituents and one lone pair form three electron domains around the central atom. The expected geometry is trigonal planar but the observed molecular geometry is bent because of the lone pairs present.
the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents
<h2>Answer: C) 1s²2s²2p⁶</h2>
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
A noble gas has 8 electrons between the p and s orbitals of the outer shell. Helium is the exception because it only has two electrons.
<h3> ∴ 1s²2s²2p⁶ is the noble gas (neon)</h3>
Answer:
The answer to your question is 122.4 g of O₂
Explanation:
Data
mass of O₂ = ?
moles of H₂O = 7.65
Process
1.- Write the balanced chemical reaction
2H₂O ⇒ 2H₂ + O₂
2.- Convert the moles of H₂O to grams
molar mass of H₂O = 2 + 16 = 18 g
18 g of H₂O ---------------- 1 mol
x ----------------- 7.65 moles
x = (7.65 x 18) / 1
x = 137.7 g H₂O
3.- Calculate the grams of O₂
36 g of H₂O -------------------- 32 g of O₂
137.7 g of H₂O ------------------- x
x = (32 x 137.7) / 36
x = 122.4 g of O₂
You should read up on Proust's law, better known as the Law of Definite Proportions. This is a chemical law that defines your question more generally, on why the ratio of elements and ions are always fixed.
Basically, this compound Magnesium(II) Chloride is MgCl2 because it has the same number of protons, neutrons, and electrons all the way. This defines the properties of the compound or atom.
