Answer:

The molecule has a bent geometry

Explanation:

Let us look again at the principles of VSEPR theory. The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.

Lone pairs distort the molecular geometry away from what is expected on the basis of VSEPR theory.

The molecule described in the question has the form AEX2. Two substituents and one lone pair form three electron domains around the central atom. The expected geometry is trigonal planar but the observed molecular geometry is bent because of the lone pairs present.

Rank the members of each set of compounds in order of decreasing ionic character of their bonds. Use partial charges to indicate
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Ionic character

A.  PF₃ > PBr₃ > PCl₃

B. BF₃ > CF₄ > NF₃

C. TeF₄ > BrF₃ > SeF₄

Explanation:

The most electronegative element is fluorine, followed chlorine, phosphorous nitrogen etc.

  • Atoms with high electronegativity tend to form negative ions.
  • Ionic compounds formed between elements with high electronegativity difference.
  • % ionic character is directly proportional to electronegativity difference.
  • According to Pauling Scale E.n for F(4.0), O(3.5), N(3.0), C(2.5), B(2.0), P(2.19), Se(2.55) , Te (2.1), Cl(3.16) and Br(2.96)
  • ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( P and F = 4 - 2.19 = 1.81), (P and Br = 2.96 - 2.19 = 0.77) , (P and Cl = 3.16 - 2.96 = 0.2 )
  • ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( N and F = 4 - 3 = 1), (B and F = 4 - 2 = 2) , (C and F = 4 - 2.5 = 1.5 )
  • ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( Se and F = 4 - 2.55 = 1.45), (F and Te = 4 - 2.1 = 1.9) , (F and Br = 4 - 2.19 = 1.81 )

What is the pH of an acid with a [H+] of 1.0 x 10&amp;-4 M?<br><br> 1. 4<br> 2. 10<br> 3. 1<br> 4. 7
True [87]
PH scale is from 1 to 14 and indicates how acidic or basic a solution is. To find pH or pOH we need to know the H⁺ ion concentration or OH⁻ concentration.
pH can be calculated using the following equation;
pH = -log[H⁺]
the H⁺ concentration of the given acid is 1.0 x 10⁻⁴ M. substituting this we can find the pH 
pH = -log[1x10⁻⁴]
pH = 4
answer is 1) 4
