Give the ideal bond angle for BrO3- ion? I know this has trigonal bipyramidal geometry and therefore the bond angle is < 109.

5. Is there a way to determine a more specific bond angle?

Now that we have a background in the Lewis electron dot structure we can use it to locate the the valence electrons of the center atom. The valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory states that electron pairs repel each other whether or not they are in bond pairs or in lone pairs. Thus, electron pairs will spread themselves as far from each other as possible to minimize repulsion. VSEPR focuses not only on electron pairs, but it also focus on electron groups as a whole. An electron group can be an electron pair, a lone pair, a single unpaired electron, a double bond or a triple bond on the center atom. Using the VSEPR theory, the electron bond pairs and lone pairs on the center atom will help us predict the shape of a molecule.

The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons. The electrons and the nuclei settle into positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction. Thus, the molecule's shape reflects its equilibrium state in which it has the lowest possible energy in the system. Although VSEPR theory predicts the distribution of the electrons, we have to take in consideration of the actual determinant of the molecular shape. We separate this into two categories, the electron-group geometry and the molecular geometry.

The diagram below shows the different phase transitions that occur in matter. Three bars are shown labeled Solid, Liquid, and Ga
Grace [21]

The arrow that will represent the phase change that involves the same amount of energy as arrow 1 will be arrow 4.

<h3>Phase change</h3>

Arrow 1 represents a phase change from liquid to gas while arrow 4 represents a phase change from gas to liquid.

In other words, arrow 1 and arrow 4 are direct opposites of one another,

This means that if X amount of energy is required for arrow 1, the same amount of energy will be needed for arrow 4 but in the reverse direction.

How does increasing the temperature affect a reaction?
Luden [163]

Answer:A. An increase in temperature increases the reaction rate.

Explanation:because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction.

How many moles of oxygen atoms are present in 5 moles of Mg3(PO4)2
Irina18 [472]

How many moles of oxygen atoms are present in 5 moles of Mg3(PO4)2

All you have to do is to create a ratio between the molecule and the oxygen atom.

5 moles of Mg3(PO4)2 (4x2 moles O/1 mole Mg3(PO4)2) = 40 moles of oxygen
