Answer: Option B is the correct answer.

Trigonal bipyramidal

Explanation:

It is Trigonal bipyramidal because it has 4 bond pair with a lone pair. It has one atom at the centre which is Se and 4 bond pair that are bonded to it that is flourine which form triangonal inform of triangles . If the lone pair is placed at axial position the angle will be 90

degreess Celsius and if it is at equitorial position, the angle will be 120 degrees.

PLS HELP QUICK ALOTTT OF POINTS

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.80 \ mol\ F}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many moles are in 4.8 × 10²³ fluorine atoms. We convert atoms to moles using Avogadro's Number or 6.022 × 10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of fluorine.

We will convert using dimensional analysis and set up a ratio using Avogadro's Number.

$\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ F}{ 1 \ mol \ F}$

We are converting 4.8 × 10²³ fluorine atoms to moles, so we multiply the ratio by this number.

$4.8 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ F *\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ F}{ 1 \ mol \ F}$

Flip the ratio so the units of atoms of fluorine cancel each other out.

$4.8 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ F *\frac { 1 \ mol \ F}{6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ F}$

$4.8 \times 10^{23} *\frac { 1 \ mol \ F}{6.022 \times 10^{23} }$

Condense into 1 fraction.

$\frac { 4.8 \times 10^{23} }{6.022 \times 10^{23} } \ mol \ F$

Divide.

$0.7970773829 \ mol \ F$

The original measurement of atoms has 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the hundredths place. The 7 in the thousandths tells us to round the 9 in the hundredths place up to a 0. Then, we also have to round the 7 in the tenths place up to an 8.

$0.80 \ mol \ F$

4.8 × 10²³ fluorine atoms are equal to 0.80 moles of fluorine.

Answer:

1. The electronic configuration of X is: 1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2

2. The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6

3. The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given as: XY

Explanation:

For X to loss two electrons, it means X is a group 2 element. X can be any element in group 2. The electronic configuration of X is:

1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2

To get the electronic configuration of the anion of element Y, let us find the configuration of element Y. This is done as follows:

Y receives two electrons from X to complete its octet. Therefore Y is a group 6 element. The electronic configuration of Y is given below

1s2 2s2 2p4

The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6

The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given below :

X^2+ + Y^2- —> XY

Their valency will cancel out thus forming XY

When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 14.4 g of carbon were burned in the presence of

Natasha2012 [34]

When carbon reacts with oxygen it forms CO2. This can depicted by the below equation.

C + O2→ CO2

It has been mentioned that when 14.4 g of C reacts with 53.9 g of O2, then 15.5 g of O2 remains unreacted. This indicates that Carbon is the limiting reagent and hence the amount of CO2 produced is based on the amount of Carbon burnt.

C + O2→ CO2

In the above equation , 1 mole of carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2.

In this case 14.4 g of Carbon reacts with 53.9 of O2 to produce "x"g of CO2.

No of moles = mass of the substance÷molar mass of the substance

No of moles of carbon = 14.4 /12= 1.2 moles

No of moles of O2 = Mass of reacted O2/Molar mass of O2.

No of moles of O2 = (Total mass of O2 burned - Mass of unreacted O2)/32

No of moles of O2 = (53.9-15.5) ÷ 32 = 1.2 moles.

Hence as already discussed 1 mole of Carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2. In this case 1.2 moles of carbon reacts with 1.2 moles of O2 to produce 1.2 moles of CO2.

Moles of carbon dioxide = Mass of CO2 produced /Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = Moles of CO2 ×Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = 1.2 x 44 = 52.8 g

Thus 52.8 g of CO2 is produced.
