Electrolyte is any species which when dissolved in solvent particularly water dissociates into cations and anions. Electrolytes are conductors of electricity. In given options;
CCl₄ (Tetrachloromethane) is a covalent compound. And it doesn't dissociate to any cation or anion. So it is not electrolyte.
SiO₂ (Silicon Dioxide) is also covalent in nature and exist in giant framework. It is not electrolyte.
Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is also covalent compound. And doesn't produced any ion in water, hence it is not electrolyte.
H₂SO₄ (Sulfuric acid) is Electrolyte. When it is dissolved in water it produces H⁺ and SO₄²⁻ ions as follow,
H₂SO₄ → 2 H⁺ ₍aq₎ + SO₄²⁻ ₍aq₎
Result:
H₂SO₄ is electrolyte.
Windblown sand can wear away rock
Hey there!
3d band can hold as many as 10 electrons, while 4s can bear as many as two electrons.
The maximum number of electrons for this composite band should be 12 electrons.
Hope that helps!
Answer:
Tetrahedral electron geometry and trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.
Explanation:
The Lewis structure is shown in Figure 1.
The central N atom has three bonding pairs and one lone pair, for <em>four electron groups</em>.
VSEPR theory predicts a tetrahedral electron geometry with bond angles of 109.5°.
We do not count the lone pair in determining the molecular shape.
The molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal (see Figure 2).
