Answer:
bent
Explanation:
The chlorite ion has been pictured in the image attached with its two main resonance contributors.
The ion has four regions of electron density as shown. On the basis of the VSEPR theory, we expect a tetrahedral geometry.
However, the ion is bent due to the effect of the lone pairs on chlorine which is the central atom in the ion. This distorts the bond angle of the ion hence the ion has a bent molecular geometry.
Answer:
No, compound A and B are not the same compound
Explanation:
According to the law of definite proportion "every chemical compound contains fixed and constant proportions (by mass) of its constituent elements." (Encyclopedia Britannica)
We can see in the question that the ratio of flourine to sulphur in compound A is 1.18 while the ratio of flourine to sulphur in compound B is 2.37.
The two chemical compounds do not contain a fixed proportion by mass of their constituent elements therefore, they can not be same compound according to the law of definite proportions.
20 grams of borax contains (20.0g) / (201 g mol -1) =0.10 mol of borax.
Therefore 0.40 mol of borax
