C.reactants are two ionic compounds
The two main factors the temperature of seawater are density and the salinity of the water.
Answer:
c) the attraction of an atom for the electrons in a covalent bond.
Explanation:
Electronegativity, symbol χ, is a chemical property describing an atom's ability of to attract a shared pair of electrons to itself. It is influenced by the atomic number of the atom and the distance between the valence electrons and the charged nucleus. As the electronegativity number of atoms increases, the more the atom attracts electrons towards itself.
Answer:
The central atom has 3 electron domains.
Explanation:
According to the Valence Shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR) put forward by Gillespie and Nyholm in 1957, the shape of a molecule is determined by repulsion between all the electron pairs (electron domains) present in the valence shell.
The electron pairs or electron domains are known to position themselves as far apart in space as possible in order to minimize repulsions.
Hence, when the central atom of a molecule contains three electron domains, they are positioned at an angle of 120° from each other to minimize repulsions. Hence the answer.
