The molecular geometry is square planar.

According to the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory (VSEPR), the shape of a molecule is determined by the number of valence electrons surrounding the outermost shell of the central atom in the molecule.

In this case, the expected geometry based on VSEPR theory is octahedral. However, the lone pairs on opposite sides of the four single bonds leads to a square planar molecular geometry.

Answer:

Circuit 4

Explanation:

To know the correct answer to the question given above, we shall determine the current in each circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

For circuit 1:

Resistance (R) = 0.5 ohms

Voltage (V) = 20 V

Current (I) =?

V = IR

20 = I × 0.5

Divide both side by 0.5

I = 20 / 0.5

I = 40 A

For circuit 2:

Resistance (R) = 0.5 ohms

Voltage (V) = 40 V

Current (I) =?

V = IR

40 = I × 0.5

Divide both side by 0.5

I = 40 / 0.5

I = 80 A

For circuit 3:

Resistance (R) = 0.25 ohms

Voltage (V) = 40 V

Current (I) =?

V = IR

40 = I × 0.25

Divide both side by 0.25

I = 40 / 0.25

I = 160 A

For circuit 4:

Resistance (R) = 0.25 ohms

Voltage (V) = 60 V

Current (I) =?

V = IR

60 = I × 0.25

Divide both side by 0.25

I = 60 / 0.25

I = 240 A

SUMMARY

Circuit >>>>>> Current

1 >>>>>>>>>>> 40 A

2 >>>>>>>>>>> 80 A

3 >>>>>>>>>>> 160 A

4 >>>>>>>>>>> 240 A

From the above calculation, circuit 4 has the greatest electric current.

Which of the following molecules would have the strongest London Dispersion Force?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer: D

Explanation:

London forces become stronger as the atom in question becomes larger, and to a smaller degree for large molecules. [4] This is due to the increased polarizability of molecules with larger, more dispersed electron clouds. The polarizability is a measure of ease with which electrons can be redistributed; a large polarizability implies that the electrons are more easily redistributed. This trend is exemplified by the halogens (from smallest to largest: F 2 , Cl2 , Br 2 , I 2 ). The same increase of dispersive attraction occurs within and between organic molecules in the order RF<RCL<RBr<RI, or with other more polarizable heteroatoms. [5] Fluorine and chlorine are

gases at room temperature, bromine is a liquid, and iodine is a solid. The London forces are thought to be arise from the motion of electrons.
