Answer:

Choice 'B'

Explanation:

Choice B => SCl₂ => 2 bonded pairs + 2 nonbonded pairs => 4 electron pairs => AX₄ parent => tetrahedral parent, but the shape is defined only by what's bonded to the central element that is, sulfur bonded to two Cl substrates. The electron pairs will assume positions in space (to minimize repulsion forces) like a regular tetrahedron (AX₄) but will have an AX₂E₂ geometry which is a Bent Geometry.

Suggest searching molecular geometry images online. Look for derivatives of AX₄ geometries. Example: H₂O (AX₂E₂ bent geometry; also a derivative of AX₄ tetrahedral parent geometry).

An electron in the hydrogen atom makes a transition from an energy state of principal quantum number ni to the n = 2 state. If t

topjm [15]

Answer:

$\boxed{3}$

Explanation:

The Rydberg equation gives the wavelength λ for the transitions:

$\dfrac{1}{\lambda} = R \left ( \dfrac{1}{n_{i}^{2}} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \right )$

where

R= the Rydberg constant (1.0974 ×10⁷ m⁻¹) and

$\text{$n_{i}$ and $n_{f}$ are the numbers of the energy levels}$

Data:

$n_{f} = 2$

λ = 657 nm

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{1}{657 \times 10^{-9}} & = & 1.0974 \times 10^{7}\left ( \dfrac{1}{2^{2}} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \right )\\\\1.522 \times 10^{6} &= &1.0974\times10^{7}\left(\dfrac{1}{4} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \right )\\\\0.1387 & = &\dfrac{1}{4} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \\\\-0.1113 & = & -\dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \\\\n_{f}^{2} & = & \dfrac{1}{0.1113}\\\\n_{f}^{2} & = & 8.98\\n_{f} & = & 2.997 \approx \mathbf{3}\\\end{array}\\\text{The value of $n_{i}$ is }\boxed{\mathbf{3}}$

___au2s3 ___h2 → ___au ___h2s

liberstina [14]

The best way to balance an equation is to balance one atom at a time.
You start with two Au atoms on the left, so you know the coefficient of Au on the right has to be 2. So at first we get,
Au2S3 + H2 --> 2Au + H2S
Then, notice you have 3 sulfur atoms on the left, so you need three on the right.
Our equation becomes
Au2S3 + H2 --> 2Au + 3H2S
Lastly, we now have six hydrogen atoms on the right, and only two on the left, so we assign a three to the H2 on the left
Au2S3 + 3H2 --> 2Au + 3H2S Is the balanced final equation.
