Briefly explain in your own words why the bond angle increases as the number of electron groups decreases

Chemistry

Answer:

i) The bond angle decreases due to the presence of lone pairs, which causes more repulsion on the bond pairs and as a result, the bond pairs tend to come closer. ii) The repulsion between electron pairs increases with an increase in electronegativity of the central atom and hence the bond angle increases.

What is evaporation? Describe what happens at the molecular level during evaporation.
jasenka [17]
 Evaporation happens<span> when atoms or </span>molecules<span> escape from the liquid and turn into a vapor. Not all of the </span>molecules in a liquid have the same energy. <span>Sometimes a </span>liquid<span> can be sitting in one place (maybe a puddle) and its molecules will become a </span>gas<span>. That's the process called </span>evaporation<span>. It can happen when liquids are cold or when they are warm. It happens more often with warmer liquids. You probably remember that when matter has a higher temperature, the molecules have a higher </span>energy<span>. When the energy in specific molecules reaches a certain level, they can have a </span>phase change<span>. Evaporation is all about the energy in individual molecules, not about the average energy of a system. The average energy can be low and the evaporation still continues. </span>
