To determine the structure of the molecule, we add the number of atoms that is bonded to the central atom. In this case, we have 4 fluorine atoms bonded to the central atom, carbon. We then look at the one pair of electrons and then choose the correct arrangement. For this case, the correct shape would be a tetrahedral. Therefore, the bond angle would be 109.5 degrees.

Based on the valence shell electron repulsion theory, the bond angle between the atoms of Fluorine in carbon tetrafluoride is 109.5 degrees. CF4 having a sp3 hybridization would follow the tetrahedral shape which is the most stable conformation.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Electrons get farther from the nucleus.

Explanation:

By going from the top to the bottom of a group, the atomic number increases. That would mean that:

  • The number of orbitals increases, as there are more electrons.
  • A higher atomic number implies an increasing number of neutrons.
  • As there are more electrons, they get farther from the nucleus. The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the easier it is for the electron to be removed from the atom.

Help me plsss
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

8.34

Explanation:

1) how much moles of NH₃ are in the reaction;

2) how much moles of H₂ are in the reaction;

3)  the required mass of the H₂.

all the details are in the attachment; the answer is marked with red colour.

Note1: M(NH₃) - molar mass of the NH₃, constant; M(H₂) - the molar mass of the H₂, constant; ν(NH₃) - quantity of NH₃; ν(H₂) - quantity of H₂.

Note2: the suggested solution is not the shortest one.
