The double bonds in CO2 are counted as single regions of electron density.

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory VSEPR is a description of the shape of molecules based on the number of electron pairs that surround the central atom in the molecule. Double bonds are counted as a single region of electron density.

Hence, the two double bonds in CO2 are counted as two regions of electron density around the central carbon atom. Hence, the molecule is liner at a bond angle of 180 degrees.

½H2(g) + ½I2(g) → HI(g), ΔH = +6.2 kcal/mole 21.0 kcal/mole + C(s) + 2S(s) → CS2(l) What type of reaction is represented by the

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Exothermic Reaction are those reaction, in which energy is released while in endothermic reaction are those, in which energy is absorbed.

Explanation:

First Reaction:

As in this reaction, energy is released

½H2(g) + ½I2(g) → HI(g), ΔH = +6.2 kcal/mole

so it is exothermic reaction

Second reaction:

As in this reaction, energy is absorbed

21.0 kcal/mole + C(s) + 2S(s) → CS2(l)

so it is endothermic reactions.

SNC2L Reflection Activities

The reflection from plane mirror is shown in the diagram.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The mirror is a plane surface which can reflect light. The diagram attached shows the schematic representation of reflection that occurs in a plane mirror.

The laws of reflection states that the incident ray, reflected ray and the normal at the point of incidence lies at the same plane. Here we can also see that all are lying on a same plane.

The second law states that angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection. Here we can also see that the i =r. It is applicable here too.
