The axial positions the bond angle is 120 degrees and in equatorial positions the bond angle is 90 degrees.
Functional groups on central atom gets reduce if lone pairs are added.
Explanation:
The number of lone pairs and base pairs of electrons tells the geometry of the molecule.
VSEPR Theory helps to know the lone pairs and bond pair electrons on the centre atom of the molecule.
Example of molecule containing 5 electron pairs can have four bond pairs and 1 lone pair.
eg: Cl
the repulsion is shown as
lp-lp> lp-bp>bp-bp
These are in equatorial position because of the repulsion of lone pairs.
It can have 2 lone pairs and 3 bond pairs. eg. Xe
Lone pairs in this is also in equatorial position as
lp-lp> lp-bp> bp-bp
In axial positions the bond angle is 120 degrees
in equatorial positions the bond angle is 90 degrees, due to the repulsion in lone pair of electrons.
If 1 lone pair is there it can be replaced by bonding with hydrogen.
If 2 lone pairs are there then bonding with oxygen is there. The covalent bond is formed.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>An atom accepts electrons and becomes an anion.</em>
<em></em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Atomic number = number of electrons = number of protons.
Atomic number of sodium is 11
So the atom contains 11 protons and 11 electrons
To find the number of neutrons we make use of the formula
Mass number - atomic number = number of neutrons
From the periodic table, we know mass number of sodium is 23
So number of neutron = 23 - 11 = 12.
When a sodium atom loses an electron it will have 11 positive protons and 10 negative electrons. Since 1 positive charge is more, Na becomes
.
Positively charged ion is called as cation
Chlorine's atomic number is 17 so it has 17 protons and 17 electrons.
When it gains an electrons, it will have 17 positive protons and 18 negative electrons. Since 1 negative charge is more, Cl becomes
.
Negatively charged ion is called as anion.
No of moles of Carbon, C = mass/ molar mass.
Molar mass of carbon = 12.0107. We only have to calculate the no of moles
of carbon to obtain carbon's mass. .
From Sucrose chemical formula C12H22O11 we know that there are 12
carbon atoms.
So there are 1.4x10^(20) x12 = 16.8 x 10^20 carbon atoms.
We will use avogardo's number to find out the number of carbon molecules
in the compound.
From Avogadro's no. One mole of any substance equals to 6.022140857
atoms.
So X mole contains 16.8 * 10^(20) carbon atom
(16.8x10^20 carbon atoms)/6.022 x10^23 particles/mol = 0.00279 mols
The molar mass of carbon is 12.0107g/mol so we'll multiply to get the mass:
0.00279 mols x 12 = 0.03348.
