11. 2073 Set D Q.No. 1 Ammonia molecule has got trigonal

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nikolay [14]3 years ago

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

I know that we usually associate the sp3 hybridization to the tetrahedral shape. This is common in molecules such as CH4. So it may sound somewhat strange that NH3 molecule has an sp3 hybridized nitrogen atom and a trigonal pyramidal geometry.

Let us recall that the central nitrogen atom in NH3 has a lone pair of electrons. These lone pairs causes more repulsion than bond pairs. As a result of the presence of this lone pair, the bond angle in the NH3 molecule is distorted away from the expected 109.7 degrees in tetrahedral geometry and the bonding groups are now arranged in a trigonal pyramidal geometry(with bond angle less than 109.7 degrees) to minimize electron pair repulsions.

If a sample of gas occupies 400 ml at a pressure of 800 mm Hg, what will be it’s volume if the pressure is reduced to 700 mm Hg
Varvara68 [4.7K]

We have to calculate volume of gas at 700 mm Hg pressure.

The answer is 457.14 ml.

The pressure can be calculated by using Boyle's law. At constant temperature, for a given mass of an ideal gas pressure is inversely related to volume.

As per Boyle's law, P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, where P is pressure and V is volume of gas.

Given, P₁= 800 mm Hg, V₁= 400 ml and P₂= 700 mm Hg, V₂=?

800 X 400 = 700 X V₂

So, V₂= (800X400)/700 = 457.14 ml

PH3, explain why there is a partial positive on hydrogen and partial negative on phosphorus.
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Phosphorus is more electronegative than hydrogen

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons towards itself thereby making a molecule to be polar. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used to measure electronegativity. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0 on the Pauling's scale, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative elements.

Electronegativity increases from left to right across the periodic table (across the period) hence, phosphorus is far more electronegative than hydrogen. Being more electronegative than hydrogen, phosphorus attracts the bonding electron pair of the P-H bond closer to itself than hydrogen. Since the electrons of the bond are closer to phosphorus than hydrogen, the phosphorus atom acquires a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge.
