Between HClO3 and HIO3, which is stronger and why? Question 16 options: 1) HClO3 is stronger because chlorine is in a higher oxi

dation state than iodine. 2) HClO3 is stronger because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine. 3) HIO3 is stronger because iodine is in a higher oxidation state than chlorine. 4) HIO3 is stronger because iodine is less electronegative than chlorine.

Answer:

2) HClO3 is stronger because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine.

Explanation:

The more electronegative the element is the more strong or acidic it becomes.

Chlorine being more electronegative than Iodine makes it easier for it to pull the electron of hydrogen more strongly and hence has a higher tendency to release a H+ unit. Hence that makes it stronger.

Indicate the electron pair geometry and the molecular geometry for each of the six compounds. Compound Electron pair geometry Mo
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

CO2

Electron pair geometry- Linear

Molecular geometry- Linear

BF3

Electron pair geometry - Trigonal planar

Molecular geometry- trigonal planar

SO2

Electron geometry - Trigonal planar

Molecular geometry - bent

SiCl4

Electron geometry- tetrahedral

Molecular geometry - tetrahedral

PF3

Electron pair geometry - tetrahedral

Molecular geometry- trigonal pyramidal

OF2

Electron pair geometry- tetrahedral

Molecular geometry- bent

Explanation:

Considering the molecule CO2, there are two regions of electron density in the molecule positioned at an angle of 180 degrees from each other hence the molecule is linear.

For BF3, the three bond pairs are arranged at the corners of a triangle to give a trigonal planar geometry at a bond angle of 120 degrees.

SO2 has two bonding groups and one lone pair giving three regions of electron density and a trigonal planar electron pair geometry. Due to the distortion to geometry caused by the presence of a lone pair, the molecule is bent.

For SiCl4, the four bonding groups are arranged at the corners of a regular tetrahedron hence it is tetrahedral both in electron pair geometry and in molecular geometry.

PF3 molecule has four regions of electron density corresponding to tetrahedral electron pair geometry. The presence of the lone pair leads to a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry.

For OF2, there are four regions of electron density around the central oxygen atom. Two bond pairs and two lone pairs leads to a tetrahedral electron pair geometry but a bent molecular geometry is observed due to the two lone pairs.

Which atom will gain electrons in the reaction, and how many.
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Most atoms do not have eight electrons in their valence electron shell. Some atoms have only a few electrons in their outer shell, while some atoms lack only one or two electrons to have an octet. In cases where an atom has three or fewer valence electrons, the atom may lose those valence electrons quite easily until what remains is a lower shell that contains an octet. Atoms that lose electrons acquire a positive charge as a result because they are left with fewer negatively charged electrons to balance the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. Positively charged ions are called cations. Most metals become cations when they make ionic compounds.

What are the four points of food safety?​
KatRina [158]

The four steps of food safety are:

  • Clean: Wash your hands and clean surfaces often
  • Separate: Don't cross-contaminate the food
  • Cook: Cook the food to the right temperature
  • Chill: Refrigerate promptly

Hope this helps! If you need more help or have any questions just message me! :)

Which form of co2 transport accounts for the greatest amount of co2 transported in blood?
ra1l [238]
The greatest amount of CO2 transported in blood is in the form of bicarbonate in plasma. Most of the carbon dioxide is converted into bicarbonate with the help of carbonic anhydrase which is an enzyme. This enzyme converts carborn dioxide and water into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The bicarbonate in plasma accounts for about 70% of CO2.
