Answer:

d. The electron-pair geometry is tetrahedral, the molecular geometry is tetrahedral.

Explanation:

According to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory, the shape of a molecule depends on the number of electrons pairs surrounding the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.

In CH3Cl, the central atom is carbon. Carbon has four regions of electron density surrounding it and no lone pairs. Lone pairs cause molecules to deviate from the expected geometry.

Since CH3Cl has no lone pairs on the carbon central atom, both the molecular and electron pair geometries are tetrahedral.

xz_007 [3.2K]
An ionic compound is a substance that contains atoms that are bonded together through an ionic bond, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another. For the given experiment above, the material that is missing from the list is WATER or solvent. It is necessary because conduction through water will help you identify if a sample compound is ionic through its electrolytes. <span>Ionic compounds that are soluble are typically electrolytes</span>

What are function of lipids​
olga2289 [7]
Lipids serve as structural components of cell membranes, function as energy storehouses, and function as important signalling molecules. They include fats, waxes, oils, hormones, and certain components of membranes and function as energy-storage molecules and chemical messengers.

Hope this helped :)

What do cations and anions form?
melomori [17]

Answer: Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. The electrostatic attraction between the positives and negatives brings the particles together and creates an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride.
