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.
We can make 10 percent solution by volume or by mass. A 10% of NaCl solution by mass has ten grams of sodium chloride dissolved in 100 ml of solution. Weigh 10g of sodium chloride. Pour it into a graduated cylinder or volumetric flask containing about 80ml of water.
Restriction as a barrier to transformation apparently contributes to sexual isolation since horizontal transfer can encompass chromosomal DNA and plasmids. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
