What is the molecular geometry of a molecule with 4 outer atoms and 1 lone pair on the central atom?

Chemistry

Rashid [163]3 years ago
3 0

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).

When barium becomes positively charged, it forms a(n): (2 points)
mart [117]

Barium forms cation : Ba²⁺

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Barium element

Required

Ion type

Solution

Barium with the symbol Ba is an alkaline earth metal element having the atomic number 56

Electron configuration of Barium: [Xe] 6s2

If we look at this configuration, then Barium will try to achieve stability by removing 2 electrons so that the electron configuration is the same as the noble gas Xenon (Xe)

Because it removes 2 electrons, Barium has the number of protons> the number of electrons so that the charge is positive and forms a cation

Please Help!! I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT!! What type of reaction is shown below?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

C) exothermic

Explanation:

The given reaction is exothermic.

N₂ + 3H₂  → 2NH₃ + ENERGY

when energy is released the reaction is exothermic and when energy is written on left side with reactant it means energy is added and reaction is endothermic.

Exothermic reaction:

The type of reactions in which energy is released are called exothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bonds are less than the energy released during the bond formation.

For example:

Chemical equation:

C + O₂   →  CO₂

ΔH = -393 Kj/mol

it can be written as,

C + O₂   →  CO₂ + 393 Kj/mol

For each set of values, calculate the missing variable using the ideal gas law.
allsm [11]

Answer:

1. n = 0.174mol

2. T= 26.8K

3. P = 1.02atm

4. V = 126.88L

Explanation:

1. P= 2.61atm

V = 1.69L

T = 36.1 °C = 36.1 + 273= 309.1K

R = 0.082atm.L/mol /K

n =?

n = PV / RT = (2.61x1.69)/(0.082x309.1)

n = 0.174mol

2. P = 302 kPa = 302000Pa

101325Pa = 1atm

302000Pa = 302000/101325 = 2.98atm

V = 2382 mL = 2.382L

T =?

n = 3.23 mol

R = 0.082atm.L/mol /K

T= PV /nR = (2.98x2.382)/(3.23x0.082) = 26.8K

3. P =?

V = 0.0250 m³ = 25L

T = 288K

n = 1.08mol

R = 0.082atm.L/mol /K

P = nRT/V = (1.08x0.082x288)/25 = 1.02atm

4. P = 782 torr

760Torr = 1 atm

782 torr = 782/760 = 1.03atm

V =?

T = 303K

n = 5.26 mol

R = 0.082atm.L/mol /K

V = nRT/P

V = (5.26x0.082x303)/1.03 = 126.88L
