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.

What causes attraction and repulsion between atoms?​
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Repulsive forces exist only when atoms are very close to each other. (3/14) "They [the atoms] will approach until both nuclei will simply shove each other because both of them are positive." The balance between the attraction and repulsion forces determines how close the atoms can get. The relationships between the magnitude and direction of repulsive and attractive forces. A stable state of a bond is when attractive forces balance repulsion forces. “A stable state between two atoms is when they attract each other with a force that equals the force that they repel each other.”

The reaction for photosynthesis producing glucose sugar and oxygen gas is:
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

a. 1.12 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation for the photosynthesis

6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(l) ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6 O₂(g)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 2.20 g of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

2.20 g × 1 mol/44.01 g = 0.0500 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of O₂ produced

The molar ratio of CO₂ to O₂ is 6:6. The moles of O₂ produced are 6/6 × 0.0500 mol = 0.0500 mol

Step 4: Calculate the volume occupied by 0.0500 moles of O₂ at STP

At STP, 1 mole of O₂ occupies 22.4 L.

0.0500 mol × 22.4 L/1 mol = 1.12 L
