Answer : The shape and bond angle of the given molecule is, bent and
respectively.
Explanation :
In the given molecule, 'Y' is the central atom and 'X' is the neighboring atom. In the given molecule, there are 4 electron pairs that means the hybridization will be
and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.
But as there are two atoms around the central atom, the third and fourth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be bent or angular and the bond angle will be,
.
Hence, the shape and bond angle of the given molecule is, bent and
respectively.
<em>Explanation</em>
Halogens => Cl, Br, I, F => exist as diatomic molecules at room temperature and atmospheric conditions.
F2 and Cl2 are gases
Br2 is liquid
I2 is solid

Answer:
Filtration is a separation method used to separate out pure substances in mixtures comprised of particles some of which are large enough in size to be captured with a porous material.
Answer:
E 1: cyclohexene
Explanation:
This reaction is an example of the dehydration of cyclic alcohols. The reaction proceeds in the following steps;
1) The first step of the process is the protonation of the cyclohexanol by the acid. This now yields H2O^+ attached to the cyclohexane ring.
2) the water molecule, which a good leaving group now leaves yielding a carbocation. This now leaves a cyclohexane carbocation which is highly reactive.
3) A water molecule now abstracts a proton from the carbon adjacent to the carbocation leading to the formation of cyclohexene and the regeneration of the acid catalyst. This is an E1 mechanism because it proceeds via a carbocation intermediate and not a concerted transition state, hence the answer.
