Are the electron geometries of water and ammonia similar?

Chemistry
1 answer:
BlackZzzverrR [31]2 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.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The hydrostatic pressure is defined as the pressure that is exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force of gravity, the formula is:

P = ρgh + P₀

Where:

ρ is density (1020kg/m³)

g is gravity (9,8m/s²)

h is depth (150m)

P₀ is the atmspheric pressure (101325 Pa)

Replacing, P = 1'600'725 Pa

I hope it helps!

Describe the three types of system: a.open: b.closed: c. Isolated:
Mnenie [13.5K]

An open system is when there is a transfer of energy and matter with its surroundings.

A closed system is where there is a transfer of energy, may it be heat or work, but not matter with its surroundings.

An isolated system is where there is no transfer of energy or matter with its surroundings.

Answer:

B. 3+

Explanation:

When Fe²⁺ loses an electron, it becomes an Fe³⁺ ion.

   The loss of an electron in an atom makes the atom becomes positively charged. Further losing electrons makes the atom more positive.

 For the given ion;

 Fe²⁺   if it loses an electron more, it becomes Fe³⁺.

The expression is given as:

         Fe²⁺    →    Fe³⁺  +  e⁻
