Explain how lone pairs of electrons influence the shape of a molecule.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ronch [10]2 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

the lone pairs will be negatively charged. these have a repulsion effect on other negatively charged electrons in the shells of atoms. picture a water molecule: the lone electron pair on the top of the oxygen will have a repulsion force on the 2 hydrogen atom's orbiting electrons to cause a bent molecular geometry.

Why does water have a much higher boiling point than methane even though water (H20) and methane (CH4) molecules are approximate
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Water has a higher boiling point because the hydrogen bonds that form water molecules are stronger than the Van der Waals interactions among methane molecules, therefor more energy must be provided in order to break the hydrogen bonds and allow the water molecules to escape the liquid state.

What is the difference between a physical and chemical change? From what I know a chemical change modifies the atoms of an objec
blsea [12.9K]
Physical change: a change in which no new substances are formed. the form of the substance is changed but not it's chemical composition (ice melting, bread toasting)

chemical change: any change that results in the formation of new chemical substances. this type of change modifies molecules and atoms by making and breaking the bonds between atoms! (iron rusting, gas burning)

so basically a physical change just changes the appearance of a substance, but a chemical change changes the makeup on a molecular level. i hope this helps you out!

How many liters of 0.85 M HCl solution would react completely with 3.5 moles Ca(OH)2?
True [87]
The reaction of Ca(oH)2 with HCl produces calcium chloride (CaCl2) and water (H2O). The stiochiometric equation is 2HCl + Ca(OH)2 = CaCl2 + 2H2O. In this case, 2 moles of HCl stoichiometrically reacts with one mole of calcium hydroxide. Hence for 3.5 moles of Ca(OH)2, there should be 1.75 moles of HCl needed. Given 0.85 M HCl, to get the volume, we divide 1.75 moles by 0.85 M. The volume needed is 2.0588 liters.

Which of the following is a homogeneous mixture?
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Water and applesauce are examples of a Homogeneous Mixture

Chicken Noodle Soup and Soil with Water would be examples of a Heterogeneous Mixture.

Explanation:

Homogeneous Mixtures are mixtures that are the same throughout, i.e. it's just one substance. A good example of this is a glass of water, this is because it is all one solution <u><em>without any other visible</em></u><u> </u><u><em>different parts</em></u><em> </em>that will settle if left alone for a while. The same applies to the applesauce, it is one type of a mixture with nothing else added to it.

Hetergeneous Mixtures on the other hand <u><em>are different substances </em></u>added together. The noodles, soup and chicken, three different substances in one mixture. The soil and water mixture also applies, two substances which separate if left alone.  

See http://chemistry.elmhurst.edu/vchembook/106Amixture.html#:~:text=A%20homogeneous%20mixture%20has%20the,gas%2C%20liquid%2C%20and%20solid. For more information.
