Answer : The correct option is, (c) pyramidal
Explanation :
As we are given that a molecule in which the central atom forms three single bonds and has one lone pair that means the central metal atom has 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons.
There are total 4 electron pairs. So, the hybridization will be
and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.
But as there are three atoms or bonds around the central atom and the fourth position occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be pyramidal.
Hence, correct option is, (c) pyramidal
Answer:
Lithium loses one electron to fluorine and forms ionic bond, having formula
.
Explanation:
Lithium is the element of the group 1 and period 2 which means that the valence electronic configuration is
.
Fluorine is the element of the group 17 and period 2 which means that the valence electronic configuration is
.
<u>Thus, lithium loses 1 electron and become positively charged. Fluorine on the other hand accepts this electron and become negatively charged.</u> This is done in order that the octet of the atoms are complete. <u>These both ions then form ionic bond as their will be electrostatic interaction between the two oppositely charged ions.</u>
Thus, the formula of calcium chloride is
.
Answer: Lithium
Explanation: The balanced chemical equation is:

It can be seen, 4 moles of lithium combines with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of lithium oxide.
Thus 8.4 moles of lithium combines with=
of oxygen gas to produce 4.2 moles of lithium oxide.
As, Lithium limits the formation of product, it is the limiting reagent and Oxygen gas is present in excess, it is called the excess reagent. (4.6-2.1)=2.5 moles of oxygen gas are present in excess.
Every isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons, which means that the atomic property which is different in each isotope of an element is mass number.
Mass number depends on the number of neutrons in an element.
