 <span>When you write the Lewis structure you see that you have three bonding pairs and one lone pair on nitrogen, the central atom. 

What (a) is asking for is what is called the "electron pair geometry", which in your case is tetrahedral. As the name implies, the electron pair geometry looks only at the electron pairs, and not whether they are bonding or not. The electron pair geometry will establish what geometry the molecule can be. 

Question (b) is asking for the "molecular geometry", which is trigonal pyramidal. "Trigonal pyramidal" is withing the "tetrahedral" family of electron pair geometries. The molecular geometry looks only at the shape created by the atoms which are bonded to the central atom. The N and 3 F's form a trigonal pyramid, not a tetrahedron, since there is not a fourth atom bonding at the lone pair. </span>

How many atoms of oxygen are in 0.100 mol of silicon dioxide?
lys-0071 [83]
1) Silicon dioxide formula: SiO2  ....... 2 is a subscript for the O atom

2) From the formula you have 1 molecula of SiO2 contains 1 atom of SiO2

3) Then, 0.100 mol of SiO2 contains 0.1 mol of Si

4) Multiply by Avogadro's number: 0.100mol *  6.022*10^23 atoms/mol= 6.02*10^22 atoms

Answer: 6.02*10^22 atoms

The following ionization energies were found for an unknown element: -
Alika [10]

Answer:

The common ion will be di-positive ion.

Explanation:

The ionization energy is defined as the amount of energy needed for removal of most loosely bound electron from an isolated atom in gaseous state.

The low ionization energy shows that the atom is able to give electron easily as after losing electron it may attain noble gas configuration or half filled stability.

Here the first and second ionization energy, both are low suggesting that the element is ready to give two electrons easily to form a di-positive ion however the third ionization energy is high which shows that it will not form tri-positive ion commonly.

Will reward brainliest<br> Explain why all arrhenius acids can be considered bronsted lowry acids
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Explanation:

A bronsted lowry acid just means that it donates a proton.

An arrhenius acid dissolves in water to donate a proton

the only difference is that an arrhenius acid must dissolve in water but it still donates a proton so it is considered a bronsted lowry acid

Contrast aluminum and nitrogen. Show why aluminum is a metal and nitrogen is not.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Nitrogen: Non- metal = they are poor conductors of heat and electricity, they are brittle solids, not ductile in their solid state - they cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets. They are usually dull and therefore show no metallic luster and they do not reflect light. They also have a low density.

Aluminium: Metal= Offers a rare combination of valuable properties. It is one of the lightest metals in the world: it's almost three times lighter than iron but it's also very strong, extremely flexible and corrosion resistant because its surface is always covered in an extremely thin and yet very strong layer of oxide film. It doesn't magnetise, it's a great electricity conductor and forms alloys with practically all other metals.

Describe the difference between pure substance and mixtures ( give an example each)
kondaur [170]

Answer:

a pure substance consists only of one element or one compound

a mixture consists of two or more different substances, not chemically joined together.

examples:

pure substance : Hydrogen gas - Diamond - Gold metal.

mixture : water and oil - mixtures of sand and water - trail mix
