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.

write the spontaneous net cell reaction. include physical states. net cell reaction: 2al(s) 2br {2}(l)
ElenaW [278]

The net cell reaction is: 2Al(s) + 2Br2(l) → 4Br(s) + 2Al2O3(s)

What is a net cell reaction?

A net cell reaction is the overall chemical reaction that occurs during a redox reaction in a cell. It is the sum of all of the individual chemical reactions that take place in the cell and is usually written as an equation with the reactants on the left-hand side and the products on the right-hand side.

What is a chemical reaction?

A chemical reaction is a process in which two or more substances interact to form new substances with different chemical properties. Chemical reactions involve the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, releasing or absorbing energy, and can be either exothermic (releasing energy) or endothermic (absorbing energy).
