Determine the molecular geometry based on the description of bonding and lone pairs of electrons around the central atom. Three
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Three double bonds and no lone pairs of electrons- trigonal planar

Two single bonds and two lone pairs of electrons-bent

Five single bonds and no lone pairs of electrons- trigonal bipyramidal

Three single bonds and one lone pair of electrons- trigonal pyramidal

Two double bonds and no lone pairs of electrons - linear

Four single bonds and no lone pairs of electrons- tetrahedral

Six single bonds and no lone pairs of electrons- octahedral

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory gives a description of the shape of a molecule based on the number of regions of electron density present on the valence shell of the central atom of the molecule.

The molecules are distorted away from the shape predicted on the basis of the VSEPR by the presence of lone pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule. In the absence of lone pairs, the shape of a molecule is exactly the shape predicted on the basis of the VSEPR theory.

Which pair will for an ionic compound
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: A pair of elements will most likely form an ionic bond if one is a metal and one is a nonmetal. These types of ionic compounds are composed of monatomic cations and anions.

Explanation:

A pair of elements will most likely form an ionic bond if one is a metal and one is a nonmetal. These types of ionic compounds are composed of monatomic cations and anions.

Explanation:

The chart below shows monatomic ions formed when an atom loses or gains one or more electrons, and the ionic compounds they form. You can check your periodic table to see that the cations are monatomic ions formed from metals, and the anions are monatomic ions formed from nonmetals.

Why is the atmospheric pressure lower on a high mountain peak than at sea level
Elenna [48]
The earths gravity attracts the molecules and collects the most near the surface. They all have weight and therefore have more pressure at the surface, as well. As you go higher, the attraction becomes less and these molecules some times fly off into space. This layer of equilibrium has the least of weight or pressure. 

The various pressures are measured by precision instruments called barometers or pressure sensors and expressed in inches of mercury or millibars. <span>Air has a weight too, although not very much, If you "pile" the air mile high, the bottom pressure is heavier because of all the air sitting on top of it, therefore the pressure decreases with altitude, because there is less air "piled up" </span>
<span>An analogy would be the same with water.</span>

Planes have these instruments that tells the crew the altitude above sea level they are at when flying.

Using the following reaction:
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Mn is the oxidizing agent.

N is the reducing agent.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the undergoing chemical reaction, it is seen that the manganese in KMnO4 has an oxidation state of 7+, in MnSO4 of 2+ and nitrogen in KNO2 is 3+ and in KNO3 is 5+; thus we have the following half-reactions:

Mn^{7+}+5e^-\rightarrow Mn^{2+}\\\\N^{3+}\rightarrow N^{5+}+2e^-

Thus, since manganese is undergoing a decrease in the oxidation state, we infer it is the oxidizing agent whereas nitrogen, undergoing an increase in the oxidation state is the reducing agent.

Best regards!
