T or F: Lone pairs around the oxygen atom of a water molecule play no role in determining its molecular geometry?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mama L [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

They play a very important part. The geometry is not a straight line. It is an angle over 90 which means that the molecule has the same general shape as a boomerang. The two hydrogens and the 2 lone electron pairs try to get away as far as possible from each other. The actual shape results in a tetrahedron shape. But the two hydrogens and 1 oxygen actually look like the aforementioned boomerang.

How many moles of silicon are in 5.9 X 10 to the 24 power atoms of silicon​
Dimas [21]

Answer:

9.79740949850 moles

Explanation:

  • 1 mole = Avogardo's Number <<6.022 E 23 <<particles, atoms, etc.>>
  • This problem can be solved using dimensional analysis by multiplying atoms (5.9E24 atoms) by (1) mole and then dividing the number by Avogardo's number (6.022 E 23 atoms).
  • Note: E = * 10

Side Note: Please let me know if you need any clarifications about this!

#1. An element or ion that has lost two electrons must have a net charge of 2+, because it has two more protons than electrons, therefore the answer is Mg2+

#2. aluminum ions have an oxidation state of 3+ and fluoride has an oxidation state of 1-, therefore I’m order for the charges to cancel you need 3 fluoride ions.
Therefore, the answer is AlF3
