The shape of the moleculeformed when carbon bonds to 4 atoms

Biology
1 answer:
sergey [27]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:The tetrahedral shape is formed by the electrons repulsing one another, which forms the tetrahedron—the shape in which all the electrons are as far away from one another as possible.

Examples include methane (CH4) and ammonium(NH4+).

Methane has a central carbon atom ringed by four hydrogens, which form the "spokes" of the tetrahedral molecule.

Tetrahedral molecules are nonpolar if the four surrounding atoms are the same, in the cases of methane and ammonium, and have a bond angle of 109.5˚.

However, tetrahedral molecules can also be polar if they are like chloroform (CHCl3). The central atom has four electron domains, but they are differently sized.

How are variations in adaptation similar? how are they different?
AVprozaik [17]
Common mistakes and misconceptions
Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution. Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations. Random mutations are the initial cause of new heritable traits.

When a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, which will occur?
Sergeu [11.5K]
If a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the cell would shrink.

Hypertonic solution means that the solution has a lower water potential than the other side (which is the cell's cytoplasm in this case), and by that, water molecules would have a tendency to flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential. This movement of water molecules is called osmosis. But note that a semi-permeable membrane (a membrane which can decide what substances can go in and out, the cell membrane is an example) has to be present in osmosis, or else the movement may be regarded as diffusion.

As the water molecules flowed away from the red blood cell cytoplasm, the cell loss so much water that the membrane has nothing much to hold and thus the cell shrinks.
