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.

A train that is accelerating at 5m/s² down the tracks and crashes into a car. If the train weighs 20,000kg, how much force does
iragen [17]

Answer:

100,000 N

Explanation:

Force, F = mass, m × acceleration, a

⇒F = ma

m= 20, 000kg

a = 5m/s²

∴ F = 5 × 20,000 = 100,000N

Match: Substance ....... Definition Lewis acid A. Provides H+ in water Bronsted-Lowry base B. Provides OH - in water Arrhenius b
Igoryamba

Answer: F.    Electron pair acceptor

Explanation:

A Lewis acid can be properly defined as any substance such as  H+ (hygrogen ion) that can accept a pair of electron.

While a Lewis base is any substance such as (OH-) that can donate a pair of electron.

In the neutralization reaction between an acid ( H+ ) and a base (OH-). Hydrogen ion (H+ ) is the Lewis acid because it accepts an electron pair from (OH-).

Other examples of Lewis acid are;  Mg2+, K+

Which of the following describes what happens to the atom that was displaced in the reactant compound during a single replacemen
Marysya12 [62]

Answer: It becomes the uncombined element in the product.

Explanation:

The reaction between Zn and HCl is a single displacement reaction according to equation below

Zn + 2HCl —> ZnCl2 + H2

Zn displaces H2 from acid and in the product, hydrogen became the uncombined element.
