Answer: 2 lone pairs, square planar
Explanation:
Using the VSEPR ( Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion)Theory
To calculate the number of lone pairs electron can be done using the formula;
Number of electrons = ½ (V+N-C+A)
V mean valency of the central atom
N means number of monovalent bonding atoms
C means charge on cation
A means charges on anion
Therefore, to calculate the number of lone pair electron C=A=0;
Number of electrons = ½ (8+4) = 12/2 = 6
Number of bonding pair = 4
Number of lone pairs of electron = 6-4 = 2
The hybridrization of the compound is sp3d2 because the number of electrons around the central atom is 6.
The geometry of the compound is square planar and this is because of the repulsion between the bonding pair of electrons and lone pair of electrons which causes the lone pair of electrons to lie in a perpendicular plane in order to acquire stability.
Answer:
The book sitting on the desk
Explanation:
The gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position relative to the ground.
It is calculated as:
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height of the object with respect to the ground
From the formula, we see that the GPE of an object is directly proportional to the heigth h: so, the higher the location of the object, the larger the GPE.
In this problem, we are comparing a book sitting on a desk and the same book sitting on the floor. In the two situations, the mass of the book is the same; however, in the first case, the value of the height is h, while in the second case, the value of h is lower (because the book is located at a lower height, being on the floor).
Therefore, we can conclude that the first book must have a larger GPE, since it has a larger value of h.
