In a water molecule (H2O), the oxygen atom has two unshared pairs of electrons and two bonding pairs of electrons. How do the un

shared pairs affect the bond angle?

Answer:

They reduce the bond angle to be slightly lower than the tetrahedral bond angle, approximately 104.45 degrees.

Explanation:

The unshared pair of electrons or lone pair electrons in order to have the minimum repulsion possible with each other pushes the other bonding pairs closer together making the bond angle smaller or bent.

The bond angle is slightly lower than the tetrahedral bond angle of 108 degrees, leaving the water molecule with a bent molecular geometry.

How many grams of iron(II) chloride are needed to produce 44.3 g iron(II) phosphate in the presence of excess sodium phosphate?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

47.2 g

Explanation:

Let's consider the following double displacement reaction.

3 FeCl₂ + 2 Na₃PO₄ → Fe₃(PO₄)₂ + 6 NaCl

The molar mass of Fe₃(PO₄)₂ is 357.48 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 44.3 g are:

44.3 g × (1 mol / 357.48 g) = 0.124 mol

The molar ratio of Fe₃(PO₄)₂ to FeCl₂ is 1:3. The moles of FeCl₂ are:

3 × 0.124 mol = 0.372 mol

The molar mass of FeCl₂ is 126.75 g/mol. The mass of FeCl₂ is:

0.372 mol × (126.75 g/mol) = 47.2 g

The periodic table is an important but rather dry scientific tool. It lists all the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic numbers. Elements with similar behavior are grouped in the same column (called a group), with metals generally on the left and non-metals (gases) on the right. Rows are called “periods” - hence, periodic table.

Explain why the air in Earth's atmosphere is a mixture, not a compound. Brainiest offered need it by 6:45!!!
Georgia [21]

Answer:

air is not a mixture because of scientists freezing it and finding different liquids, it is a mixture because the compounds that make up air e.g. oxygen (o2), Carbon dioxide (co2) and the most important Nitrogen which is an element and makes up 78.09% of air are not chemically bound in the way that compounds are
