Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory states that; the number of electron pairs present on the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule is the final determinant of shape of the molecule.

Based on this theory, the electron domain geometry of a molecule having 4 outer atoms and 1 lone pairs on the central atom should be based on a trigonal bipyramid. The molecular geometry of this molecule is see saw with a bond angle of <90 degrees(axial) and <120 degrees(equatorial).

n200080 [17]
Thomson's plum pudding model dictated that the atom contains negative charges surrounded by positive charges in close vicinity. Rutherford's experiment determined that the particles are not this close and the atom consists mainly of empty space and that it is the negative charge that surrounds the positive charge, not the other way around.

An atom of 132sn has a mass of 131. 917760 amu. mass of1h atom = 1. 007825 amu mass of a neutron = 1. 008665 amu. calculate the
Lelechka [254]

The mass defect in amu/atom is 11.928.

The mass defect is the discrepancy between the nucleus of an atom's anticipated mass and its actual mass. This discrepancy is due to the binding energy of a system, which might manifest as excess mass.

The nucleus must be robustly spherical as expected for a doubly magical nucleus because the stripped neutron fell into a distinct orbital shell above the closed inner shells of tin-132 after the researchers examined the energy and angular distribution of the particles.

Mass of atom = 131.917760 amu

Mass of proton = 1.007825 amu

Mass of neutron = 1.008665 amu

Sn atom has 50 protons and 69 neutrons.

Mass defect = Mp + Mn - MA

                    = 50 × 1.007825 + 69 × 1.008665 - 131.917760

                    = 50.39125 + 69.597885 - 131.917760

                    = 11.928 amu/atom

Therefore, the mass defect in amu/atom is 11.928.

Write an equation that shows the reaction between acetic acid (ch3cooh) and triethylamine (ch3ch2)3n. Draw all non-bonding lone
Sedaia [141]

Due to the lone pair of electron present on nitrogen in ethylamine, (CH_3CH_2)_3N it will behave as base and attack on the hydrogen of hydroxy group of acetic acid, CH_3COOH which is an acid and results in the formation of conjugate acid of triethyl amine and conjugate base of acetic acid.

The reaction between triethylamine and acetic acid is shown in the attached image.
