Question 5: Causes of Molecular Shape (3 points)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sonja [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A. VSEPR theory assumes each atom molecule has a geometry to help minimize the repulsion between the electrons within the valence shell of the central atom.

B. Repulsion determines the molecular shape as the electrons are negativley charged. The negativity makes the atoms spread out as much as possible.

C. Lone electron pairs have greater repelling effects as they are closer to the nucleus of the central atom unlike bonding pairs.

Which of the following is the test for oxygen has?
dem82 [27]
A or B depends on what you mean by lit or glowing but when you place a wooden split in the sample the gas must reignite but there can be some confusion between hydrogen and oxygen mainly because a splint can cause a slight popping sound while it reignites but hydrogen pops are more violent and can most time extinguish the splint.

Help please Thank You so much!
Irina18 [472]
If you count the number of electrons (small dots), you have the atomic number. In this case you have 11 so this atom is a sodium atom. Sodium has 1 valence electron (electron on the outer shell) and chlorine has 7. This means that if sodium gave one electron away and chlorine would obtain one electron, they would both have the (ideal) noble gas conformation (full outer shell).

The following balanced equation shows the decomposition of ammonia (NH3) into nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2). 2NH3 → N2 + 3H2 A
Triss [41]
The decomposition of ammonia is characterized by the following decomposition equation:
                                  2NH₃<span>   →   N</span>₂  <span> +   3H</span>₂   

The mole ratio of N₂  :  H₂  is  1  :  3

    If the number of moles of N₂  =  0.0351 mol
    Then the number of moles of H₂  =  0.0351 mol  × 3
                                                         = 0.1053 mol

The number of moles of hydrogen gas produced when 0.0351 mol of Nitrogen gas is produced after the decomposition of Ammonia is  0.105 mol (OPTION 3).

Explain why different liquids boil at the different temperatures
Gennadij [26K]

The boiling point of the fluid depends on the intermolecular forces between the fluid atoms and molécules, as these forces must be disrupted to switch from a fluid to a gas. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the greater the point of boiling.
