According to VSEPR theory , in which fashion will the bonds and lone pairs of electrons be arranged about the central atom in th
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, trigonal bipyramidal.

Explanation:

The VSPER theory states that the bonds of sharing electrons and the lone pairs of electrons will repulse as much as possible. So, by the repulsion, the molecule will have some shape.

In the ion PO₄³⁻, the central atom P has 5 electrons in its valence shell, so it needs 3 electrons to be stable. Oxygen has 6 electrons at the valence shell and needs 2 to be stable. 3 oxygens share 1 pair of electrons with P, and the two lone pair remaining in P is shared with the other O, then the central atom makes 4 bonds and has no lone pairs, the shape is tetrahedral.

In the ion H₃O⁺, the central atom O has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 electrons to be stable. The hydrogen has 1 electron, and need 1 more to be stable. The hydrogens share 1 pair of electrons with the oxygen, then it remains 3 electrons at the central atom, and the VSPER theory states that the shape will be a trigonal pyramidal.

In the AsF₅, the central atom As has 5 valence electrons, and F has 1 electron in its valence shell, so each F shares one pair of electrons with As, and there are no lone pairs in the central atom. For 5 bonds without lone pairs, the shape is trigonal bipyramidal.

What takes up the vast majority of space in an atom?
yKpoI14uk [10]

The answer is: a relatively large electron cloud.

Atom is composed of the nucleus and the electron cloud.

Protons (positive particles) and neutrons (neutral particles) are in the nucleus of an atom and electrons (negative particles) are in the electron cloud.

Nucleus is in the centar of the atom atom and electron cloud is surrounding it.

Atoms have their mass concentrated in a very small nucleus.

Which of these have the same number of particles as 1 mole of water H2O
Fed [463]

Answer:

It is equal to Avogadro's number (NA), namely 6.022 x1023. If we have one mole of water, then we know that it will have a mass of 2 grams (for 2 moles of H atoms) + 16 grams (for one mole O atom) = 18 grams.

Explanation:

The question is not very much clear.

If you are asking for molecules then 1 mole water= 6.023 * 10^23

If you are asking for atoms then 1 mole water= 6.023 * 10^23 * 3

If you are asking for particles then,

So, in your example you would have one mole of water molecules. If you dissociated those water molecules, than you would end up with 2 moles of hydrogen atoms, and one mole of oxygen atoms.

I hope that was helpful!

H=1 proton,1 electron

O=8 protons,8 neutrons and 8 electrons

total particles in one H2O molecule-28

total no. of particles in 1 mole of water- 6.023 * 10^23 * 28

What is the mass percent of oxygen (0) in SO2?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

D. (16.0 g + 16.0 g) × 100% / (32.1 g + 16.0 g + 16.0 g) = 49.9%

Explanation:

Step 1: Detemine the mass of O in SO₂

There are 2 atoms of O in 1 molecule of SO₂. Then,

m(O) = 2 × 16.0 g = 16.0 g + 16.0 g = 32.0 g

Step 2: Determine the mass of SO₂

m(SO₂) = 1 × mS + 2 × mO = 1 × 32.1 g + 2 × 16.0 g = 32.1 g + 16.0 g + 16.0 g = 64.1 g

Step 3: Detemine the mass percent of oxygen in SO₂

We will use the following expression.

m(O)/m(SO₂) × 100%

(16.0 g + 16.0 g) × 100% / (32.1 g + 16.0 g + 16.0 g) = 49.9%
