Select the correct value for the indicated bond angle in each of the following compounds: O-S-O angle of SO2 F-B-F angle of BF3

Stels [109]

Answer:

(A) O-S-O bond angle of SO₂ molecule = 119°

(B) F-B-F bond angle of BF₃ molecule = 120°

(C) Cl-S-Cl bond angle of SCl₂ molecule = 103°

(D) O-C-O bond angle of CO₂ molecule = 180°

(E) F-P-F bond angle of PF₃ molecule = 96.3°

(F) H-C-H bond angle of CH₄ molecule = 109.5°

Explanation:

Bond angle refers to the angle between two adjacent chemical bonds in a molecule. The bond angle is different for different molecular geometry.

The Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory predicts the molecular geometry and shape of the given molecule by the number of lone pairs on central atom and number of atoms bonded to central atom.

(A) SO₂ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to S = 2

Number of lone pairs on S = 1

Therefore, the shape of SO₂ molecule is bent and the O-S-O bond angle is 119°.

(B) BF₃ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to B = 3

Number of lone pairs on B = 0

Therefore, the shape of BF₃ molecule is trigonal planar and the F-B-F bond angle is 120°.

(C) SCl₂ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to S = 2

Number of lone pairs on S = 2

Therefore, the shape of SCl₂ molecule is bent and the Cl-S-Cl bond angle is 103°.

(D) CO₂ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to C = 2

Number of lone pairs on C = 0

Therefore, the shape of CO₂ molecule is linear and the O-C-O bond angle is 180°.

(E) PF₃ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to P = 3

Number of lone pairs on P = 1

Therefore, the shape of PF₃ molecule is trigonal pyramidal and the F-P-F bond angle is 96.3°.

(F) CH₄ molecule

The number of atoms bonded to C = 4

Number of lone pairs on C = 0

Therefore, the shape of CH₄ molecule is tetrahedral and the H-C-H bond angle is 109.5°.

If the half-life of a radioisotope is 10,000 years, the amount remaining after 20,000 years is

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Considering the half-life of 10,000 years, after 20,000 years we will have a fourth of the remaining amount.

Explanation:

The half-time is the time a radioisotope takes to decay and lose half of its mass. Therefore, we can make the following scheme to know the amount remaining after a period of time:

Time_________________ Amount

t=0_____________________x

t=10,000 years____________x/2

t=20,000 years___________x/4

During the first 10,000 years the radioisotope lost half of its mass. After 10,000 years more (which means 2 half-lives), the remaining amount also lost half of its mass. Therefore, after 20,000 years, the we will have a fourth of the initial amount.

Which statement best explains why mass is not conserved in a nuclear change?

kogti [31]

Answer:

Mass in nuclear reactions is not strictly conserved due to this principle of mass and energy being quite similar. We know that nuclear reactions release a lot of energy. This energy, though, is actually mass that is lost from nucleons, converted into energy, and lost as the mass defect.

Some mass is turned into energy, according to E=mc2.

Explanation:

E=mc2 is probably the most famous equation. E is the energy, m is mass, and c is the constant speed of light. Einstein came up with it to show that energy and mass are proportional - one can turn into the other, and back again.
