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.

Example: BCl_3 with 3 electron domains has trigonal planar geometry.

Thallium consists of 29.5%TI-203 and 70.5%TI-205. What is the relative atomic mass of thallium
Galina-37 [17]
To determine the relative atomic mass of thallium, we multiply the molar mass of the isotopes to their corresponding relative abundance. The molecular percentages should sum up to 1. In this case, we multiply 203 by 0.295 and 205 by 0.705 and add the answers of the two. The final atomic mass is 204.41 g/mol.

What will happen to a lighted candle that is covered by a glass jar.
Troyanec [42]
A lit candle needs to draw oxygen from the air in order to continue burning. ... Thus, oxygen inside the glass jar will decrease and it gets filled with carbon dioxide, and eventually the candle's flame will Extinguish.

How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.358 kg of copper from 23.0 ∘C to 60.0 ∘C? The specific heat of co
NNADVOKAT [17]
In order to calculate how much heat is needed to raise the temperature you need to use the formula q =mass x specific heat x (final temperature- initial temperature) where q represents heat being absorbed or released. Before you begin you would convert kg to g because the specific heat is measure in g. So you would set up the equation as q = 358 g x .092 x (60-23 degrees Celsius) which would give you 1218.6
