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.
Sharing of valence electrons.
Explanation:
In a covalent bonds, there is sharing of the valence electrons used in bonding between the two combining species.
The atoms taking part do not have a wide electronegativity difference between them and so they share the valence electrons to complete their octet and ensure their stability.
- For the formation of this bond type, each of the atom requires a odd or unpaired electrons.
- Covalent bonds are formed between atoms having zero or very small electronegativity difference.

Answer:
So the molar mass of C4,H10 is
58.12g mole -1
Answer:
Mass = 99.8 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of potassium nitride = ?
Mass of nitrogen produced = 10.65 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2K₃N→ 6K + N₂
Moles of nitrogen:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 10.65 g / 28 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.38 mol
Now we will compare the moles of nitrogen with potassium nitride.
N₂ ; K₃N
1 : 2
0.38 : 2×0.38 =0.76
Mass of potassium nitride:
Mass = molar mass × number of moles
Mass = 131.3 g/mol × 0.76 mol
Mass = 99.8 g
