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.

A substance joined by this type of bond will conduct electricity when in?​
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

C.) If the solid is conductive, the bonds are metallic.

1) Substances with ionic bond conduct an electric current in liquid, but not in solid state, because in liquids ions are mobile, contrary to solids where ions are fixed.

2) Substances with covalent bond not conduct an electric current in liquid and solid state, because they not have free ions or electrons.

3) Substances with metallic  bond conduct an electric current in liquid and solid state, because they have mobile electrons. Most metals have strong metallic bond, because strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.

What is an acid base indicator​
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Acid-base indicators are generally weak proteolytic that change color in solution according to the pH. The acid-base equilibrium of a weak acid type of indicator (HI) in water can be represented as. [I] The acid, HI, and the conjugate base, I−, have different colors. The equilibrium expression for this process is.
