How does VSEPR help determine the shape of the molecule?

Chemistry
1 answer:
dybincka [34]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B) The shape of the molecule is determined by the valence electrons of the different atoms within a molecule repelling each other, so the atoms are as far apart as possible from any other valence shell.

Explanation:

VSEPR denotes Valence Electron Pair Repulsion.

It is one of the theories used to predict the model of a compound or molecule.

  • An atom bonded by two or more other kinds of atoms as in many covalent molecules and ions have their geometry determined by the bonds around the central atom.
  • The VESPR theory determines the total number of electron pairs surrounding the central atom of a specie.
  • The electron pairs orients in such a way as to minimize the electrostatic repulsion between them.

Which of the following compounds will make an electrolytic solution?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer: KBr will make an electrolytic solution

Explanation:

Electrolyte is a substance which dissociates into ions when dissolved in water and thus is able to conduct electric current through them.

Compounds in solid form does not conduct electricity due to the absence of free ions.

a) SO_2 is a covalent compound and thus not an electrolyte.

b) C_2H_5OH  is a covalent compound and thus do not dissolve in water and thus is not an electrolyte.

c) KBr  is an ionic compound and thus dissolve in water and give ions which help to conduct electricity.

KBr\rightarrrow K^++Br^-

d) CCl_4  is a covalent compound and thus do not dissolve in water and thus is not an electrolyte.

A compound is composed of only C, H, and O. The combustion of a .519-g sample of the compound yields 1.24 g of CO_2 and .255 g o
Kay [80]

Answer:

Empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of compound = 0.519 g

Mass of CO₂ = 1.24 g

Mass of H₂O = 0.255 g

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

%age of C,H,O

C = 1.24 g/0.519 × 12/44 ×100 = 65.5%

H = 0.255 g/0.519 × 2.016/18 ×100 =  5.6%

O = 100 - (65.5+5.6)

O = 28.9%

Number of gram atoms of H = 5.6 / 1.01 = 5.5

Number of gram atoms of O =  28.9 / 16 = 1.81

Number of gram atoms of C = 65.5 / 12 = 5.5

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :        H              :         O

          5.5/1.81              :       5.5/1.81     :       1.81/1.81

            3                      :        3              :        1

C : H : O = 3 : 3 : 1

Empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Explain how the understanding of atomic emission spectrum lead to development of the atomic theory
kiruha [24]

here we have to explain the development of the atomic theory by the atomic emission spectrum.

The most important aid in determining the structure of an atom has been study of radiation emitted and absorbed by the elements. The glowing atoms of an element emit radiations.

These are called the atomic spectra. This study helped to understand the structure of the atoms.

To explain the atomic spectra the Bohr's model was introduced. The postulates of the Bohr's model explain the fine spectrum of the atom up to the particle nature of the electrons.

Later some modification on the Bohr's postulates was made to explain the wave nature of the electrons as well. But the atomic spectra is best be understood by the Bohr's atomic model which developed the atomic theory.

Thus the understanding of emission spectrum of atom to develop the atomic theory is explained.
