Answer:
SeCl₆ < SeF₂ < SeO₂
Explanation:
(A) SeO₂
The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 1 lone pair. The molecule is bent shaped which has an angle of 120°.
(B) SeCl₆
The central atom has 6 bond pairs and 0 lone pair. The geometry is octahedral in which the equatorial bonds has an angle of 90° and axial bond has an angle of 90°.
(C) SeF₂
The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs. The geometry is bent shape which has an angle of approximately 105.5°.
The order is:
<u>SeCl₆ < SeF₂ < SeO₂</u>
Answer:
Explanation:
THE PHOTOCHEMICAL(LIGHT) REACTIONS :This is a phase of photosynthesis where sunlight is used as a source of energy to manufacture two chemical compounds which are "Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate"-NADPH and "Adenosine triphosphate"-ATP.This phase of photosynthesis involves 4 steps or reactions which are :
STEP 1 : Activation or Energization of chlorophyll - In this reaction,chlorophyll molecules in green algae or plants absorb sunlight and become activated,that is the electrons of the chlorophyll molecule acquire solar energy and become excited.
STEP 2 : PHOTOLYSIS OF WATER - Here the energy absorbed by the chlorophyll molecules are used to split water molecules into H+ ions and OH-- ions.
STEP 3:Formation of NADPH -The hydrogen ions (H+) produced reacts with an NADP ( an electron carrier in the chlorophyll) to form NADPH.
STEP 4: FORMATION OF ATP - The high energy generated from the electron transfer process or chain is used to add a phosphate group to ADP (Adenosine dphosphate) to form ATP.
DARK PHASE :In this phase of photosynthesis,the NADPH generated in the light phase is used as a reducing equivalent to reduce CO2 to form Glucose (food) using the ATP generated as a source of energy.
Also water H2O is made of H+ and OH- ions. so when an acidic substance is added to water the concentration of H+ ions increase.
Water molecules are highly packed and are always near each other.
