How do we determine the central atom in a chemical bond? How information is need to determine the shape that results in the bond

ed atoms of the molecule? ​
Chemistry
1 answer:
EastWind [94]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

- the central atom is usually the atom with the lowest subscript in the molecular formula and the atom that can form the most bonds. If all of the atoms usually form the same number of bonds, the least electronegative atom is usually the central atom.

- molecular shape (the shape that a single molecule has) is important in determining how the molecule interacts and reacts with other molecules. Molecular shape also influences the boiling point and melting point of molecules. If all molecules were linear then life as we know it would not exist.

In this activity, you will be observing a reaction where copper and silver nitrate react to form copper (II) nitrate and silver.
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Copper(II) nitrate and silver

Explanation:

2AgNO₃(aq )  +  Cu  (s) -->  Cu(NO₃)₂(aq ) +  2Ag(s)

This can be called a redox reaction because silver nitrate is reduced and copper is oxidized.  This can also be called a single replacement reaction because copper replaces silver in the substance silver nitrate.

A gas at a pressure of 2.0 atm is in a closed container. Indicate the changes (if any) in its volume when the pressure undergoes
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

a) The volume increases

b) The volume decreases

c) The volume does not change

Explanation:

<em>A gas at a pressure of 2.0 atm is in a closed container. Indicate the changes (if any) in its volume when the pressure undergoes the following changes at constant temperature and constant amount of gas.</em>

<em />

When there is a change in the pressure (P) at constant temperature (T) and amount of gas (n), we can find the change in the volume (V) using Boyle's law.

P₁.V₁ = P₂.V₂

where,

1 refer to the initial state

2 refer to the final state

<em>a) The pressure drops to 0.40 atm.</em>

P₁.V₁ = P₂.V₂

(2.0 atm) . V₁ = (0.40 atm) . V₂

V₂ = 5 . V₁

The volume increases.

<em>b) The pressure increases to 6.0 atm.</em>

P₁.V₁ = P₂.V₂

(2.0 atm) . V₁ = (6.0 atm) . V₂

V₂ = 0.33 . V₁

The volume decreases.

<em>c) The pressure remains at 2.0 atm.</em>

P₁.V₁ = P₂.V₂

(2.0 atm) . V₁ = (2.0 atm) . V₂

V₂ = V₁

The volume does not change.
