Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory, the shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.

So, in order to identify the electron domain geometry of a molecule (number of regions of electron density)

1) draw the full Lewis structure of the molecule/ion

2) indicate the electron pairs surrounding the central atom

3) count the number of electron pairs surrounding the central atom

4) decide on the electron pair geometry using valence shell electron pair repulsion theory.

Whats the difference between covalent and ionic bonds
il63 [147K]

Answer: The two main types of chemical bonds are ionic and covalent bonds. An ionic bond essentially donates an electron to the other atom participating in the bond, while electrons in a covalent bond are shared equally between the atoms. The only pure covalent bonds occur between identical atoms.Jan 23, 2020

Choose the FALSE statement.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

C. The half-life of C-14 is about 40,000 years.

Explanation:

The only false statement from the options is that the half-life of C-14 is 40,000yrs.

The half-life of an isotope is the time it takes for half of a radioactive material to decay to half of its original amount. C-14 has an half-life of 5730yrs. This implies that during every 5730yrs, C-14 will reduce to half of its initial amount.

  • All living organisms contain both stable C-12 and the unstable isotope of C-14
  • The lower the C-14 compared to the C-12 ratio in an organism, the older it is.

When sedimentary rock sits for years and years will it build up more layers and. Make fossils
KengaRu [80]
Sedimentary rocks don't necessarily make fossils. Although when animals die on top of the rocks and are never moved, blown away, etc they can get trapped under the growing rock. Which is why fossils are often found in sedimentary rocks.
