Covelant molecules are formed d
Answer:
a) gold - Solid
b) gasoline - liquid
c) oxygen - gaseous
d) olive oil - liquid
e) mercury (found in thermometers) - liquid
f) aluminum - solid
Explanation:
Matter exists in three states viz: solid, gas and liquid. Note that, room temperature is a neither hot or cold temperature, which is about 20-23°C.
A) Gold is a transition metal with the symbol Au. At a room temperature, Gold, like most metals are found as SOLIDS.
B) Gasoline is a liquid mixture of refined hydrocarbons majorly used as fuels.
C) Oxygen is a chemical element with symbol O. It is a constituent of natural air, which is a mixture of different gases including oxygen. Hence, at room temperature, Oxygen is a gas.
D) Olive oil is a vegetable oil got from olives. It is composed of fats and it's a liquid at room temperature.
E) Mercury is an element with symbol Hg. It is the only metallic element found naturally (at room temperature) as a liquid. It is used in thermometers.
F) Aluminum is another chemical element with symbol Al. It is a lustrous metal that occurs as a Solid in room temperature.
It’s “a”, frequency because the sound waves will cause vibrations in object close by
Now that we have a background in the Lewis electron dot structure we can use it to locate the the valence electrons of the center atom. The valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory states that electron pairs repel each other whether or not they are in bond pairs or in lone pairs. Thus, electron pairs will spread themselves as far from each other as possible to minimize repulsion. VSEPR focuses not only on electron pairs, but it also focus on electron groups as a whole. An electron group can be an electron pair, a lone pair, a single unpaired electron, a double bond or a triple bond on the center atom. Using the VSEPR theory, the electron bond pairs and lone pairs on the center atom will help us predict the shape of a molecule.
The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons. The electrons and the nuclei settle into positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction. Thus, the molecule's shape reflects its equilibrium state in which it has the lowest possible energy in the system. Although VSEPR theory predicts the distribution of the electrons, we have to take in consideration of the actual determinant of the molecular shape. We separate this into two categories, the electron-group geometry and the molecular geometry.
