A Lewis structure is a two-dimensional representation of a molecule that does not necessarily show what shape that molecule would take in three dimensions. Based on the Lewis structure and your knowledge of VSEPR theory, approximate the smallest bond angle in this molecule.

Answer 1

Answer: The smallest bond angle in the molecule x-y-x is [tex]180^0[/tex]

Explanation:

According to VSEPR theory , each atom in a molecule will achieve a geometry that minimizes the repulsion between electrons in the valence shell of that atom.

In the given compound [tex]x-y-x[/tex], the number of electron pairs is 2 that means the hybridization will be [tex]sp^2[/tex]  and geometry of the molecule will be linear as there are two bond pairs .The bond angle for linear geometry is 180° which reduces the electron electron repulsions and maximise stability.

Determine the number of moles in 254 molecules of bromine.

Answers

Answer:

4.22 × 10 ⁻²² mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of bromine = 254 molecules

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

1 mole = 6.02 × 10 ²³ molecules

254 molecules × 1  mol / 6.02 × 10 ²³ molecules

42.2 × 10 ⁻²³ mol

5.) A spring with a spring constant of 500 n/m is stretched 1 meter in
length. How much EPE does it have? *
500 Joules
250 Joules
1500 Joules

Answers

Answer:

250J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Spring constant  = 500N/m

Extension  = 1m

Unknown:

Elastic potential energy  = ?

Solution:

The elastic potential energy of a body is the energy stored within an elastic string.

  EPE  = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] k e²

k is the spring constant

e is the extension

 Now;

      EPE  =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  x 500 x 1²   = 250J
