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.

A substance has a atomic number of 80.How many protons and electrons do atoms of the substance have ?what is the substance
Anarel [89]

Answer: Substance is Mercury (Hg)

              number of protons = 80

              number of electrons = 80

Explanation:

Atomic number which is symbolized by "Z" is the number of protons in nucleus of an atom.

Hence,

     number of protons = atomic number = 80

  • By knowing atomic number, we can find the element by using periodic table. Since the atomic number 80, the element is Mercury (Hg).

If the substance is in its neutral state, which means there is no charge on it, then the number of protons equals to the number of electrons of that element.

Hence,

   number of electrons = number of protons = 80

The answer to the question?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

atomic particles

The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).

Fill in the chart to identify three parts of Dalton's model of the atom.
mamaluj [8]

The first part of Dalton's model is that all matter is made of atoms, and these atoms are indivisible.

The second part of this model is that atoms of an element have identical masses and identical propertes.

At last, the third part of Dalton's model is that all compounds are formed by two or more different type of atoms combined.
