Answer:
a little less than 109.5°
Explanation:
SCl2 has four regions of electron density around the central atom of the molecule. This implies that it has a tetrahedral electron domain geometry with an expected bond angle of 109.5° according to valence shell electron pair repulsion theory.
However, there are two lone pair of electrons on the central atom of the molecule which decreases the bond angle a little less than 109.5° owing to repulsion between electron pairs.
it would need to gain 2 more for it to achieve a stable configuration
the best way to remember this is the noble gasses all have 8 valence electrons and that they are the most stable elements on the periodic table
The ionic compound for AlBr3 is ↓
Aluminum Bromide
1A: The legs can be a adjusted, as well as the sand can be swapped out. It’s a very good design for running multiple tests.
1B: He could add books or something under the front or back legs in order to increase/decrease the incline, therefore imitating the hypothesis.
1C: He can change out the sand grains to finer ones, or coarser ones, and record his results of each test.
2: If he sets the model at a steep incline and tests it with coarse sand and fine sand, seeing which one makes a narrower, deeper hole.
