Assuming you meant cation and not action, gallium would most likely form a cation because it is a group A element
It is important to have the correct bond angles of the different atoms and the shape of the molecule due to following reasons;
Among other properties the polarity of compounds mainly depend upon the shape and bond angles of that particular compound. For example, considering the molecule of water, we already know that it is a polar molecule with partially positive hydrogen atoms and partially negative oxygen atoms and acts as universal solvent. The bond angle in water is about 104.5° with a Bent geometry. Unlike carbon dioxide (CO₂) which has Linear structure with bond angle 180° and is non-polar in nature therefore, the bent geometry in water is responsible for the polarity.
Other properties which can also be predicted by predicting the bond angles along with molecular geometries are;
i) Magnetism
ii) Phase of matter
iii) Color
iv) Reactivity
v) Biological activities <em>e.t.c</em>
Answer:
The groupings of elements in the periodic table reveal various trends, present in groups such as the alkali metals and noble gases, or the lanthanides and actinides. The periodic table can be used to find information on elements or predict the properties of as-of-yet undiscovered elements.
Explanation:
2H2O = 2H2 + O2.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>
Balancing equations is very essential because of the fact that it represents the stoichiometric quantities of the reactants needed to react to form the product. The ratio of the weights of reactant and product are also very well understood from this.
Here in this equation, the water is broken into hydrogen and oxygen. The balanced reaction is
2H2O = 2H2 + O2.
Two moles of water is broken down into 2 moles of hydrogen and one mole of oxygen.
Answer:
0.414 mole (3 sig. figs.)
Explanation:
Given grams, moles = mass/formula weight
moles in 18.2g CO₂(g) = 18.2g/44g/mole = 0.413636364 mole (calc. ans.)
≅ 0.414 mole (3 sig. figs.)
