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.

Select the correct answer. When an atom in a reactant loses electrons, what happens to its oxidation number? A. Its oxidation nu
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

C. Its oxidation number increases.

Explanation:

  • <em><u>Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom</u></em>.
  • Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
  • When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
  • For example, <em><u>an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.</u></em>

Acetone (fingernail-polish remover) has a density of 0.7857 g/cm3 What is the mass in grams of 17.16 mL of acetone?
Mashutka [201]
1 mL = 1 cm³

D = m / V

0.7857 = m / 17.16

m = 0.7857 x 17.16

m = 13.482 g

Which compound dissolves in water to form an aqueous solution that can conduct an electric current?
drek231 [11]
The answer is (3) CH3COOH. CH3COOH is a acid. It can ionized in water. So the solution can conduct an electric current. And the other three can not be ionized in water.
