The shape of the sulfur dioxide molecule, where sulfur is the central atom is

Chemistry
1 answer:
fgiga [73]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

bent

Explanation:

The molecular formula of sulfur dioxide is written as SO₂

The molecular geometry of sulfur dioxide can be determined using the Lewis structure.

The Lewis structure shows the distribution of electrons around the atoms of a given compound such as sulfur dioxide (SO₂).

In this compound, sulfur is the central atom with 6 valence electrons.

The sulfur is bonded covalently with two oxygen atoms, each with 6 valence electrons. Oxygen contributes 2 lone pairs while sulfur which is the central atom contributes 1 lone pair of electrons in the bond.

The bond angle between the two oxygen atoms and the central sulfur atom is approximately 120⁰, as a result of the bent shape of the molecular structure.

I haven't taken biology in a few years, so I may be wrong, but to me it looks like mitosis, since it only divides once, and if I can see the picture correctly it looks like each cell contains the same amount of chromosomes, but I can't see the picture very well. If it helps here are some differences between meiosis and mitosis:

1. Cell Division

Mitosis: A somatic cell divides once. Cytokinesis (the division of the cytoplasm) occurs at the end of telophase.

Meiosis: A reproductive cell divides twice. Cytokinesis happens at the end of telophase I and telophase II.

2. Daughter Cell Number

Mitosis: Two daughter cells are produced. Each cell is diploid containing the same number of chromosomes.

Meiosis: Four daughter cells are produced. Each cell is haploid containing one-half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.

3. Genetic Composition

Mitosis: The resulting daughter cells in mitosis are genetic clones (they are genetically identical). No recombination or crossing over occur.

Meiosis: The resulting daughter cells contain different combinations of genes. Genetic recombination occurs as a result of the random segregation of homologous chromosomes into different cells and by the process of crossing over (transfer of genes between homologous chromosomes).

4. Length of Prophase

Mitosis: During the first mitotic stage, known as prophase, chromatin condenses into discrete chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers form at opposite poles of the cell. A cell spends less time in prophase of mitosis than a cell in prophase I of meiosis.

Meiosis: Prophase I consists of five stages and lasts longer than prophase of mitosis. The five stages of meiotic prophase I are leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis. These five stages do not occur in mitosis. Genetic recombination and crossing over take place during prophase I.

5. Tetrad Formation

Mitosis: Tetrad formation does not occur.

Meiosis: In prophase I, pairs of homologous chromosomes line up closely together forming what is called a tetrad. A tetrad consists of four chromatids (two sets of sister chromatids).

6. Chromosome Alignment in Metaphase

Mitosis: Sister chromatids (duplicated chromosome comprised of two identical chromosomes connected at the centromere region) align at the metaphase plate (a plane that is equally distant from the two cell poles).

Meiosis: Tetrads (homologous chromosome pairs) align at the metaphase plate in metaphase I.

7. Chromosome Separation

Mitosis: During anaphase, sister chromatids separate and begin migrating centromere first toward opposite poles of the cell. A separated sister chromatid becomes known as daughter chromosome and is considered a full chromosome.

Meiosis: Homologous chromosomes migrate toward opposite poles of the cell during anaphase I. Sister chromatids do not separate in anaphase I.

I can add the similarities between them if you need. This work is not mine, I got it from thoughtCo.

Good luck :)

What types of changes are typically involved in equilibrium reactions? A. pressure only B. temperature only C. pressure or tempe
musickatia [10]
The correct answer is option D. i.e. <span>pressure, temperature, or concentration.

Equilibrium reactions can involve
 1) changes in the temperature conditions - high or low or exothermic or endothermic.
2) Pressure - By increasing or decreasing the pressure 
3) Concentration - the changes in concentration take place in either products side or reactants side.

Two containers hold the same radioactive isotope. Container A contains 1000 atoms, and container B contains 500 atoms. which con
enyata [817]

Answer:

The rate of decay of atoms in container A is greater than the rate of decay of atoms in container B.

Explanation:

From the question,

Container A contains 1000 atoms

Container B contains 500 atoms

<u>The rate of decay of atoms in container A is greater than the rate of decay of atoms in container B.</u>

The reason for such is due to the difference in the concentration of the isotopes. Container A which contains higher number of atoms will have the more changes of the release of the neutron as the changes of the hitting and splitting increases as the density of the atoms increases.

<u>Thus, the atoms in the container A will therefore decay faster than the atoms in the container B. </u>
