This problem is asking for an explanation of what we need to know about double and triple bonds to successfully predict molecular geometries in molecules. At the end, one comes to the conclusion that double and triple bonds contribute to the degree in which an atom is bonded and they also determine the lone pairs, which, at the same time, define the molecular geometry.

<h3>Molecular geometry:</h3>

In chemistry, molecules are not necessarily flat arrangements of atoms, yet they have specific bond angles, orientations and shapes, which define the molecular geometry. In such a way, we can use the VSEPR theory in order to know the molecular geometry of a molecule; however, we first need its Lewis structure or at least the number and type of bonds to do so.

Consider water and carbon dioxide; the former has two hydrogen to oxygen bonds (O-H) and 2 lone pairs because O has six valence electrons but just 2 are bonded to complete the octet, so 4 unpaired electrons lead to two lone pairs. On the other hand, the latter has two double bonds (C=O) and 0 lone pairs because carbon has four valence electrons and they are all bonded to complete the octet.

In such a way, one can see how the double bond affected the bonding in CO2 in contrast to the H2O; situation that also applies to triple bonds, because CO2 has a linear molecular geometry whereas water has a bent one (see attached picture)

Hence, one comes to the conclusion that double and triple bonds contribute to the degree in which an atom is bonded and they also determine the lone pairs, which, at the same time, define the molecular geometry.

Does the volume of particles affect the behavior of gas

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Yes, it does, although only physically and not chemically.

Explanation:

If a volume of gas is way spread out, it won't collide with the other gas particles as often, reducing pressure and temperature because they lose kinetic energy to their surroundings when they don't collide.

If it is compressed, it increases temperature and pressure because the gas particles collide with each other and the walls of the container way more often than if they had more space.

Hope this answers your question.

P.S.

Fun fact, gas particles are actually moving at 300-400 meters per second at room temperature, they only slow down to walking speed at very low temperatures, like 10 Kelvin

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont understand this stuff at all.........

serious [3.7K]

<span>At a depth of 34 feet the diver experiences 2 atmospheres of pressure. At a depth of 68 feet the diver is experiencing 3 atmospheres. At a depth of 102 feet the diver is experiencing 4 atmospheres of pressure. At one atmosphere of pressure the body is mildy compressed. As the diver descends the divers body will undergo increased compression instead of being squashed.</span>
