Answer:

Oxygen is more electronegative than sulphur

Explanation:

Bond angle of a molecule is related to the electronegativity of the central atom. The more electronegative the central atom is, the greater the bond angle.

As electronegativity of the central atom increases, the magnitude of bond pair- bond pair repulsion increases leading to increase in bond angle.

Hence, oxygen, being more electronegative than sulphur asserts a greater bond pair- bond pair repulsion leading to a greater bond angle in water.

Enter an equation for the formation of NO2(g) from its elements in their standard states. Express your answer as a chemical equa
kkurt [141]

The standard state of the elements Nitrogen and Oxygen are N2 and O2, knowing that they are diatomic elements. With that piece of information, the unbalanced equation for the formulation of NO2(g) should be as follows -

N2 + O2 ---> NO2

And if you include their states -

N2 ( g ) + O2 ( g ) ---> NO2 ( g )

To balance this chemical equation consider the number of reactants and products on other side of the equation. If you were to include a coefficient of one - half with respect to N2 on the reactant side, it would balance the reactants and products -

The nucleus of an element contains more protons then electrons.this is referred to a?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

ion

However atoms may gain or lose electrons in ordinary chemical reactions. If an atom has the same number of electrons as protons, it is a neutral atom. If it has a net charge, (more or less electrons than protons) it is an ion. If it has more electrons than protons it has a net negative charge and is known as an anion.

How many molecules are contained in 0.800 mol o2?
Ksenya-84 [330]
Multiply .800 moles of O2 by Avagadro's number divided by 1 mole. This will get rid of the moles on the bottom and leave you with molecules. So technically .800 times 6.02x10^23.
