Answer: 2 lone pairs, square planar
Explanation:
Using the VSEPR ( Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion)Theory
To calculate the number of lone pairs electron can be done using the formula;
Number of electrons = ½ (V+N-C+A)
V mean valency of the central atom
N means number of monovalent bonding atoms
C means charge on cation
A means charges on anion
Therefore, to calculate the number of lone pair electron C=A=0;
Number of electrons = ½ (8+4) = 12/2 = 6
Number of bonding pair = 4
Number of lone pairs of electron = 6-4 = 2
The hybridrization of the compound is sp3d2 because the number of electrons around the central atom is 6.
The geometry of the compound is square planar and this is because of the repulsion between the bonding pair of electrons and lone pair of electrons which causes the lone pair of electrons to lie in a perpendicular plane in order to acquire stability.
Hello!
To find the number of moles that are in the given amount, we need to divide the total number of atoms by Avogadro's number, which is 1 mole is equal to 6.02 x 10^23 atoms.
5.0 x 10^25 / 6.02 x 10^23 ≈ 83.0564
Therefore, there are about 83.06 moles of iron (sigfig: 83 moles).
Answer:
(1) atomic numbers
Explanation:
The observed regularities in the properties of the elements on the periodic table are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.
- Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom.
- The periodic law states that "the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number".
- Elements on the periodic table are arranged based on the atomic numbers they contain.
- The number of positively charged particles in an atom is the atomic number.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The molecular geometry of an atom is connected to the number of electron pairs that surround it(whether lone pairs or bonding pairs) as well as its hybridization state. We shall now examine the N, P, or S atoms in each of the following compounds.
a)
In H3PO4, P has a tetrahedral molecular geometry and is sp3 hybridized.
b) In NH4NO3
N is sp3 hybridized in NH4^+ and sp2 hybridized in NO3^-. Also, N is tetrahedral in NH4^+ but trigonal planar in NO3^-.
c) In S2Cl2, we expect a tetrahedral geometry but as a result of the presence of two lone pairs on each sulphur atom, the molecular geometry is bent. The sulphur is sp3 hybridized.
d) In K4[O3POPO3], each phosphorus atom is in a tetrahedral molecular geometry and is sp3 hybridized.
