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.

Refer to the Chemical Compounds table above. How many total elements are in<br> Ethanol?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

3 element i.e carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Subtance >>>>>>>> Chemical Formula

Glucose >>>>>>>>> C₆H₁₂O₆

Methane >>>>>>>> CH₄

Ethanol >>>>>>>>> C₂H₅OH

Hydrogen peroxide >> H₂O₂

From the above table, we can see that ethanol (C₂H₅OH) contains carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen

Therefore, the total number of elements present in ethanol, C₂H₅OH is 3.
