<span>Xe = VIII = 8 valence electrons
F = VII = 4 (7 ve) = 28 valence electrons</span>

total ve = 8 + 28 = 36 ve

 

<span>36 - 4(2) = 28 ve
(there are 2 electrons in each bond x 4 bonds)</span>

 

<span>28 - 4(6) = 4 
(We assign the remaining electrons to F atoms)</span>

 

<span>4 - 2(2) = 0 
(Therefore 4 electrons left => we have 2 lone pairs)</span>

 

The steric number = No. of σ bonds + #lone pairs

= 4 σ bonds + 2 lone pairs = 6 => d²sp³ (6 hybrid orbitals)

 

<span>4 bonds + 2 lone pairs => square planar</span>

Urea is an organic compound widely used as a fertilizer. Its solubility in water allows it to be made into aqueous fertilizer so
skad [1K]

Answer:

3 hydrogen bonds.

Explanation:

This is because the urea molecule has an oxygen atom bound with double bonds to the central carbon atom, and this oxygen can form a hydrogen bond with water, as well as both terminal amine groups that can also form a hydrogen bond each because of the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen group.

At equilibrium, ________. At equilibrium, ________. all chemical reactions have ceased the rate constants of the forward and rev
balandron [24]

Answer:

<em>At equilibrium, the rate of the forward, and the reverse reactions are equal.</em>

Explanation:

In an equilibrium chemical reaction, the rate of forward reaction, is equal to the rate of reverse reaction. Note that the reactions does not cease at equilibrium, but rather, the reactants are converted to product, at the same rate at which the product is also being converted into the reactants in the reaction. When chemical equilibrium is reached, a careful calculation of the value of equilibrium constant is approximately equal to 1.

NB: If the value of equilibrium constant is far far greater than 1, then the reaction will favors more of the forward reaction, and if far far less than 1, the reaction will favor more of the reverse reaction.
