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]3 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.

Which of the following elements is the smallest?
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The atomic radius of elements are used to estimate the sizes of elements. The atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state of metals.

To solve this problem we will obtain the atomic radius values of the given elements from a standard atomic radius table;

          Si          111 pm

           P          98 pm

          Cl          79 pm

            S           87pm

pm = picometer

We see that chlorine has the least atomic radius

How much energy in Joules, does 80 (g) grams of water at an initial temperature of 40°C need to absorb to have its temperature r
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Q = 6688 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy absorbed = ?

Mass of water = 80 g

Initial temperature = 40°C

Final temperature = 60°C

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

specific heat capacity of water 4.18 j/g.°C

ΔT = 60°C -  40°C

ΔT = 20°C

Q = 80 g ×4.18 j/g.°C ×  20°C

Q = 6688 J

Which solution has the lowest freezing point?
elena55 [62]
The solution of Ba(OH)2 will have the lowest freezing point. This is because it dissociates into 3 ions, one Ba and 2 OH, which is more than any of the others. Freezing point depression is a colligitive property of water that depends, in part, on the number of ions.
