Answer:

It fulfills the octet rule because the shells apart from the innermost shell has a total of 8 electrons

Which statement applies to electronegativity?

densk [106]

Answer: The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an atom to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself whenever a bond is formed.

This property increases as we move from left to right across a period because the number of charge on the nucleus gets increased and electrons are attracted more towards the nucleus.

This property decreases as we move from top to bottom in a group because the electrons get add up in the new shells which make them further away from the nucleus.

Thus, the correct answer is Option A.

How do you calculate the density of a gas, based on its temperature and pressure?

stiks02 [169]

We can rearrange the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT, where n is the number of moles equivalent to:
n = mass / Mr
PV = mRT/Mr
m/V = PMr/RT
density = PMr / RT; where Mr and R are constant.

What geometry does VSEPR predict for the central atom in NCl3

Archy [21]

Answer:

Tetrahedral electron geometry and trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.

Explanation:

The Lewis structure is shown in Figure 1.

The central N atom has three bonding pairs and one lone pair, for four electron groups.

VSEPR theory predicts a tetrahedral electron geometry with bond angles of 109.5°.

We do not count the lone pair in determining the molecular shape.

The molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal (see Figure 2).
