Generally, the rate of a reaction will decrease with increasing temperature, although there are some exceptions in the case of non-elementary reactions. However it is more likely that the first statement is false.
Half-life is a measure of the time taken for a to reach 1/2 of its initial concentration, and is generally completely independent of reagent concentration within a first order reaction, which is likely what this reaction is, therefore statement 2 is also likely false.
Hope this helps!
Elements that form diatomic molecules, or molecules of two atoms each, are commonly found on the right side of the periodic table.
Answer:
They are solid (with the exception of mercury, Hg, a liquid).
They are shiny, good conductors of electricity and heat.
They are ductile (they can be drawn into thin wires).
They are malleable (they can be easily hammered into very thin sheets).
If this satisfies you please consider giving me brainliest :)
Answer:
Electron geometry- Tetrahedral
Molecular geometry- Bent
Bond angle- <<109.5°
Explanation:
According to the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory, the shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs present bon the central atom of the molecule. The electron pairs orient themselves as far apart in space as possible to minimize repulsion between electron pairs.
However, the repulsion between all electron pairs is not the same. Lone pairs cause more repulsion around the central atom than bond pairs. Hence lone pairs tend to distort the molecular structure away from that predicted on the basis of Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory.
Considering XY2Z2, there are four electron domains, two bond pairs with bonding groups at 180° apart and two lone pairs. Based on VSEPR theory, a tetrahedral shape is expected with a bond angle of about 109°.
The presence of two lone pairs distorts the observed molecular geometry to a bent shape with bond angle <<109°, hence the answer above.
