Answer:
C. The electron clouds are negatively charged and repel each other as far apart as possible
Explanation:
This is the basis of VSEPR theory.
The angles between the electron clouds determine the shapes of the molecules.
B. and D. are wrong. All electron pairs are negatively charged.
<span>The correct answer is 3: 0.10 M K3PO4(aq). The higher the concentration (or molarity), the higher the boiling point. Thus, the solution with the most moles will have the highest boiling point. SO4, PO4, and NO3 are all polyatomic ions, so by definition, they only have one mole. In K3PO4, K3 has 3 moles and PO4 has 1 mole, meaning all together it has 4 moles (more than any of the other options).</span>
Answer:
Valence electrons are involved in Reaction B but not in Reaction A.
Explanation:
The description of reaction A in which protons are lost or gained by the atom of the element is a nuclear reaction. In nuclear reactions, the nucleons which are the protons and neutrons drives the reaction. No valence electrons in the orbiting shells are involved in this kind of reaction. During this type of reaction, an atom changes it identity to that of another.
Reaction B in which no identity change occurs is a chemical reaction. In chemical reactions bonds are formed by the atoms using the valence electrons that orbits round the central nucleus. The atoms remain the same but it chose to attain stability and an inert configuration by losing or gaining electrons.
Distillation is the <span>method that can be used to seperate parts of liquid mixture when the entire mixture can pass through a filter.</span>
