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.
Answer:
a.Archaeopteryx
b.Archaeopteryx had more in common with other small Mesozoic dinosaurs than with modern birds.Archaeopteryx was generally accepted by palaeontologists and popular reference books as the oldest known bird.Archaeopteryx could grow to about 0.5 m (1 ft 8 in) in length.

Explanation:
The major difference between low and high explosives is the rate of detonation. Low explosives detonate very slowly (less than 1,000 meters per second), whereas high explosives detonate very quickly (from 1,000 to 8,500 meters per second).
High explosives among the given list are Lead azide residues, Ammonium nitrate residues, and Scraps of primacord. Whereas Nitrocellulose residues and, Potassium chlorate residues are low explosives.
