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.

Metal is a great conductor of heat while rope does not collect heat from the radiation from the sun as much or contain it while if metal is out in the sun all day it just keeps getting hotter and hotter and when you touch the rope it does not have much heat to transfer but the metal slide is hot enough to irritate your skin

Why is the theoritical strngth of metals much higher than that observed experimentally
fiasKO [112]

Not sure, but I would guess it's due to environmental factors, like heat, and imperfections in the metal. Just an educated guess, though.
