Answer:
The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
Explanation:
This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.
<span>Any elements in Group 14, also known as the carbon group, will have four valence electrons. This group contains carbon, silicon, geranium, tin, lead, and flerovium. These elements are all in the same group precisely because of the same number of valence electrons. These electrons determine the chemical properties of an element, so all of these elements will have similar chemical properties.</span><span />
For light travelling in vacuums, ALWAYS use this equation:
c = (wavelength) * (frequency)
c is a constant, speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s
make sure all units are consistent!
so frequency = c / (wavelength) = ( 3 x 10^8 m/s ) / (4.257 x 10^ -9 m )
plug it into your calculator and you're done!
Answer:
Sulfate = tetrahedral
Explanation:
N° Geometry Formula
2 linear AX2
3 trigonal-planar AX3 or AX2E
4 tetrahedral AX4/AX3E/AX2E2
a) Nitrate = NO3-
⇒ AX3
⇒ bond angles = 120°
⇒ Coordination number = 3
⇒ Trigonal planar
b) Sulfate = SO42-
The central S
-atom has four electron domains. It has no lone pairs, so the electron geometry and the molecular geometry are tetrahedral.
⇒AX4
⇒ bond angles = 190.5°
⇒Coordination number = 4
⇒Tetrahedral
c) Chlorate = ClO3-
In ClO3-, the central atom is a Chlorine.
It has 7 valence electrons. The three oxygen form a double bond giving three bond pairs. The remaining two electrons make a lone pair. The total of 4 electron pairs shows that the molecule is sp3 hybridised.
The shape of sp3 hybrid molecule is a tetrahedral. But there is a lone pair. So, the geometry is <u>pyramidal</u>.
⇒AX4
⇒ bond angles = 190.5°
⇒Coordination number = 3
⇒pyramidal
Diffference between tetrahedral and pyramidal is that tetrahedral no has a lone pair, and has 4 atoms bonded to the central atom, while pyramidal has 1 lone pair and 3 atoms bonded to the central atom.
Sulfate has a tetrahedral geometry, which is a pyramidal structure
