21. a. Describe why there is a difference in bond angles between H20 and CH4. (2 pts)

Chemistry
1 answer:
statuscvo [17]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The H—C—H bond angle in methane is the tetrahedral angle, 109.5°. This angle is obtained when all four pairs of outer electrons repel each other equally. The bond angles in water is less than 109.5° because of the stronger repulsion by their lone pairs of electrons.

Choose all of the answers that are correct when describing this atom.
gregori [183]
I believe that this atom is  chlorine and the atom has an overall charge of zero.
Chlorine is chemical element which is atomic number 17 in the periodic table. Each chlorine atom has 17 protons (positively charged) in the nucleus balanced by 17 electrons (negatively charged) in the energy shells ( thus an overall charge of zero)

Balanced nuclear equation, what two things must be conserved
In-s [12.5K]
If you only want to balance nuclear reactions, then you should know that number of nucleons are conserved before and after nuclear reaction. Also, charge is conserved as well.
Other things which are conserved in a nuclear reaction are:
Conservation of:
1. Parity
2. Spin
3. angular momentum(vector sum of intrinsic spin and orbital angular momentum)
4. linear momentum
5. Isotopic spin
6. Energy

the double bond in ethene is made up of a pi bond and a sigma bond formed by lateral overlap of two p orbitals
Deffense [45]

The unhybridized pz orbitals on each carbon overlap to a π bond (pi).The sigma bond framework of the ethylene molecule is produced by the overlap of hybrid orbitals or by the interaction of a hybrid orbital and a 1s hydrogen orbital.

Each carbon still has its unhybridized pz orbital, though. Sigma bond are typically the only types of single bonding between atoms. One sigma bond and two pi bonds make up triple bonds. One sigma () bond makes up a single bond, one and one pi () bond makes up a double bond, and one and two bonds make up a triple bond.

What statement is true about the eight elements on the periodic table termed metalloids?
valina [46]

Answer:

They have properties of both metals and nonmetals

Explanation:

  • Elements in the periodic table may be divided into Metals, non-metals, and metalloids.
  • Metals are the elements that react by losing electrons to form stable positively charged ions known as cations. Examples are group 1, 2, and 3 elements together with transition elements.
  • Non-metals are those elements that react by gaining electrons to form stable negatively charged ions called anions. Examples include oxygen, carbon, sulfur, etc.
  • Metalloids, on the other hand, are elements that have both metallic and non-metallic properties.
  • Metalloids occur between metals and non-metals in the periodic table. Examples include Boron and silicon among others.

Mantle convection is a process of that creates circular currents in the asthenosphere. As a result, the plates slowly move.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

<em>Rigid plates that move around Earth's surface is called tectonic plates. </em>

Explanation:

Lithosphere is rigid and relatively cold and is the outer surface of the planet. The convective motions of maintenance break the lithosphere into plates.

This place that a form can move in any direction, can move towards each other, can move away and push each other which is the reason for formation of mountains for shifting of continents for making of ocean basin.
