Answer:

Metal

Element: Calcium

Valency: 2

Explanation:

To find the element, let's use the periodic table. (Look below)

We already went past 3 shells, just need the 2 electrons after it.

Just skip to the 4th row and count 2 to the right

We end up at Calcium.

Calcium is a metal and we're also on the alkaline earth metals column.

Calcium will need to lose 2 electrons to reach stability, so the valency is 2.

The _______ geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral even though the molecular geometry is bent

IRINA_888 [86]

The electron geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral even though the molecular geometry is bent.

As water molecule hybridisation is sp³ that provides it a electron geometry tetrahedral but due to presence of 2 lone pairs and 2 bond pairs its molecular geometry is bent.

The hybridisation sp³ makes electron geometry of a water molecule tetrahedral but the presence of 2 lone pairs makes its molecular geometry bent

Why is cyanide lethal? What dose it do once inside the body?

OLga [1]

In large doses it stops cells using oxygen causing these cells to die. So in a small amount it would not kill you. So lets say cyanide is inside the body it would kill off all the cells and your body would not be able to function causing death
