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 hydrogen atoms are in 5.20 mol of ammonium sulfide?
Fofino [41]
1) Molecular formula of ammonium sulfide

(NH4)2 S

2) That means that there are 2*4 = 8 atoms of hydrogen in each molecule of ammoium sulfide, so in 5.20 mol of molecules will be 8 * 5.20 mol = 41.6 moles of atoms of hydrogen

3) To pass to number of atoms multiply by Avogadro's number: 6.022 * 10^23

41.6 moles * 6.022 * 10^23 atoms / mol = 250.5 * 10^23 = 2.50 * 10^25 atoms

Answer: 2.50 * 10^25
