Answer : The correct option is, (c) pyramidal
Explanation :
As we are given that a molecule in which the central atom forms three single bonds and has one lone pair that means the central metal atom has 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons.
There are total 4 electron pairs. So, the hybridization will be
and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.
But as there are three atoms or bonds around the central atom and the fourth position occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be pyramidal.
Hence, correct option is, (c) pyramidal
Using IMA is used in Engineering, but there is a simple rhyme I use called IMA Deer. IMA=De/Dr
Answer:
All bonds are equivalent in length and strength within the molecule.
Gaseous SO3 is a trigonal planar molecule that exhibit a D3h symmetry group.
Sulfur has sp2 hybridization and it has 6 outer electrons which make the bonds with the oxygen.
Its constituent sulfur atom has an oxidation state of +6 and a formal charge of 0.
The Lewis structure is made up of one S=O double bond and two S–O dative bonds that doesn't not engage the d-orbitals. ( Thus, SO3 molecule has three double bonded oxygen to the central sulfur atom). This explains the strength.
It gaseous form had a zero electrical dipole moment because of the 120° angle between the S-O bonds.
Explanation:
Answer:A) It was developed from past observations- true
It is subject to experimentation and revision.- false
It explains why mass is conserved- false
It predicts future observations-true
Explanation:
Before a hypothesis is proclaimed to be a law in science, numerous observation must have confirmed its validity and rigorous experimentation under carefully controlled conditions usually precedes the acceptance of a hypothesis as a law. The law of conservation of mass was developed from numerous past observation that proved its validity.
