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

Chemistry
1 answer:
fgiga [73]2 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.

Calculate the hydronium ion concentration in an aqueous solution with a ph of 9.85 at 25°c.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

1.41 × 10⁻¹⁰ M

Explanation:

We have a solution with a pH of 9.85 at 25 °C. We can calculate the concentration of H⁺ using the following expression.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH

[H⁺] = antilog -9.85

[H⁺] = 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁰ M

H⁺ is usually associated with water molecules forming hydronium ions.

H⁺ + H₂O → H₃O⁺

Then, the concentration of H₃O⁺ ions is 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁰ M.

Q Q 3. (08.02 MC)
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: A volume of 455 mL from 0.550 M KBr solution can be made from 100.0 mL of 2.50 M KBr.

Explanation:

Given: V_{1} = ?,         M_{1} = 0.55 M

V_{2} = 100.0 mL,        M_{2} = 2.50 M

Formula used to calculate the volume of KBr is as follows.

M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\\0.55 M \times V_{1} = 2.50 M \times 100.0 mL\\V_{1} = 455 mL

Thus, we can conclude that a volume of 455 mL from 0.550 M KBr solution can be made from 100.0 mL of 2.50 M KBr.

If you put to the electrons and hydrogen making it a negative charge does that make it stable or unstable
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

I'm pretty sure it would make it unstable, hydrogen only has one proton thus having the ability to stabilize one electron, adding another electron would most likely make the atom reactive to any positively charged atom to loose this extra electron.
