Are the electron geometries of water and ammonia similar?

Chemistry

BlackZzzverrR [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The electron geometries of water and ammonia are both based on a tetrahedron. The central atom in ammonia is nitrogen which is surrounded by four electron pairs; three bond pairs and one lone pair. In water, the central atom is oxygen surrounded by four electron pairs also; two bond pairs and two lone pairs. The presence of four electron pairs on the central atom of each molecule means that their electron geometries are both tetrahedral according to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory.

However, due to the presence of lone pairs, the molecular geometry of water is bent(angular) while the molecular geometry of ammonia is trigonal pyramidal.

Zinc will displace copper from a solution of copper sulfate, and magnesium will displace zinc from a solution of zinc sulfate. W
Anna [14]

Answer:

The displacement reactions are regarded as redox reactions because they involve the formal transfer of electrons from one chemical specie to the other

2) The series of reactivity of the metals in the order of increasing reactivity are;

  • Copper

           ↓

  • Zinc

           ↓

  • Magnesium

Explanation:

1) Redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction is a chemical reaction involving the loss and gain of electrons from one chemical species to another, where the chemical species that undergoes oxidation, loses electrons and is termed the reducing agent, while the other chemical species that undergoes reduction, gains electrons, and is termed the oxidizing agent

2) The redox reaction can being based on the affinity for electrons depends on the positions of the reactants in the electrochemical series as well as the chemical reactivity of the metals with zinc being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than copper and magnesium being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than zinc

Least  reactive (Cu)  <     (Zn)        < Mg Most reactive

Copper                     <      Zinc       < Magnesium.

Question 2
andrezito [222]

Answer:

A.  Peroxide breaking down into water and oxygen

Explanation:

Generally when it comes to changes, there are physical and chemical changes. In physical changes, there are no new substances been formed, however in chemical change new substances are formed.

A.  Peroxide breaking down into water and oxygen

This is a chemical change.

B . Bubbles forming when a pot of water is heated

This is a physical change

C. A pair of jeans soaked in water drying after hanging outside

This is a physical change

D . A block of ice decreasing in size due to a change in temperature

This is a physical change.

Only option A is different from the rest,hence this is the answer.
