Why it is difficult to accurately represent ammonia two-dimensionally?

Svetlanka [38]

According to the valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSPER) theory, an ammonia molecule <span> has a </span>trigonal pyramidal<span> shape with an experimental bond angle measure of 106.7 degrees. This is why it is difficult to accurately represent ammonia two-dimensionally because the molecular structure entails a 3-D projection with angles in it unlike the linear structure.</span>

Warm Up: Compete this conversion. Put just the number below *

Gwar [14]

Answer:

4 1/2

Explanation:

Use a ratio to find your answer

4 6

----- = -------

3 x

Cross multiply to solve for x.

4x = 18

x = 18/4

x = 4 2/4 which is the same as 4 1/2

What is the oxidation number of cl− in the hypochlorite ion clo−?

mariarad [96]

Answer : The oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

Explanation :

Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.

The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

The given compound is, $ClO^-$

Let the oxidation state of 'Cl' be, 'x'

$x+(-2)=-1\\\\x-2=-1\\\\x=+1$

Therefore, the oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

Which has more mass: an armful of feathers or an armful of lead? which has more volume: a kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of

valina [46]

Mass is related to weight. It measures the resistance of the substance to acceleration when a net force is applied.
Therefore: armful of lead has more mass

volume measures the amount of 3-dimensional space that an object occupies.
Therefore: kilogram of feather has more volume as it is less dense.

density is the mass per unit volume. Since armful of lead has more mass than a handful of feathers, while kilogram of feather has more volume than a kilogram of lead.
Therefore: kilogram of lead has higher density.

Why our body is not crushed due to atmostsparic pressure

kirill [66]

Fluid and air flows around you and tries to crush you in but Fortunately, there is typically just as much pressure inside your body pressing outward as there is air pressure outside your body pushing inward. They typically cancel out, meaning that there is no overall force on you and you don't get crushed.
