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.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Mass of Ga = 0.73694 gram

Explanation:

Given:

Current = 0.850 A

Time = 60 minutes

Find:

Amount of gas deposit.

Computation:

Total charge = Current × Time in second

Total charge = 0.850 × 60 × 60

Total charge = 3,060 C

Mole of electron = Total charge / Faraday constant         [Faraday constant = 96,485.3329]

Mole of electron = 3,060 / 96,485.3329

Mole of electron = 0.0317146

Moles of Ga = 1/3 [Mole of electron]

Moles of Ga = 1/3 [0.0317146]

Moles of Ga = 0.01057

Mass of Ga = molar mass × Moles of Ga

Mass of Ga = 69.72 × 0.01057

Mass of Ga = 0.73694 gram
