Answer:

linear

Explanation:

The shape of a molecule is derived from the Valence Shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR). According to the theory, the number electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule determines its shape. This is because, electron pairs in a molecule orient themselves are far apart in space as possible to minimize repulsions between electron pairs. Lone pairs cause more repulsion than bond pairs.

For a molecule XY2 having two bond pairs and no lone pair, the two bond pairs will orient themselves at an angle of 180° from each other, that is, along a straight line. Hence the three dimensional representation of the molecule molecule is linear.

Why are metallic crystals malleable and ductile? A. The electrons are free floating, allowing them to move with the atoms when t
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

D. The atoms are arranged with alternating positive and negative charges. When struck, the lattice shifts putting positives against positives and negatives against negatives.

Explanation:

Metallic crystals takes their properties as a result of metallic bonds in between the atoms.

Metallic bond is actually the attraction between the positive nuclei of all the closely packed atoms in the lattice and the electron cloud jointly formed by all the atoms by losing their outermost shell electrons this is by virtue of their low ionization energy.

Physical properties of metals such as malleability, ductility, electrical conductivity, etc can be accounted for by metallic bonds.

Suppose you heat an oven to 400°F (about 200°C) and boil a pot of water. Which of the following explains why you would be burned
goblinko [34]

Answer: The correct answer is: the water can transfer heat to your arm more quickly than the air.

Explanation: The heat is transferred from the air or water to your arm through convection. The convective heat transfer coefficient of water is higher than the air's, so, even though the temperature of boiling water is lower, the heat will be transferred more efficiently to the other surface, in this case, the hand.

If a sample containing 2.50 ml of nitroglycerin (density=1.592g/ml) is detonated, how many total moles of gas are produced?
masya89 [10]
<span>0.127 moles The formula for nitroglycerin is C3H5N3O9 so let's first calculate the molar mass of it. Carbon = 12.0107 Nitrogen = 14.0067 Hydrogen = 1.00794 Oxygen = 15.999 C3H5N3O9 = 3 * 12.0107 + 5 * 1.00794 + 3 * 14.0067 + 9 * 15.999 = 227.0829 Now calculate the number of moles of nitroglycerin you have by dividing the mass by the molar mass 2.50 ml * 1.592 g/ml / 227.0829 g/mol = 0.017527 mol The balanced formula for when nitroglycerin explodes is 4 C3H5N3O9 => 12 CO2 + 10 H2O + O2 + 6 N2 Since all of the products are gasses at the time of the explosion, there is a total of 29 moles of gas produced for every 4 moles of nitroglycerin Now multiply the number of moles of nitroglycerin by 29/4 0.017527 mol * 29/4 = 0.12707075 moles Round to 3 significant figures, giving 0.127 moles</span>

Answer:

1. Galvanic oxidation. Example is the corrosion of aluminium wires when in contact with copper wires under wet conditions.

2. Rainwater or Damp/moist air

3. Chromium-plated steel screws or stainless steel screws or galvanized steel screws

Explanation:

1. Galvanic oxidation or corrosion occurs when two different metals with different electrode potentials are brought into contact with each other by means of an electrolyte (usually a aqueous solution), such that a redox reaction occurs leading to one metal with the more negative electrode potential (the anode) becoming oxidized, while the other less negative potential (the cathode) is reduced.

In order for galvanic corrosion to occur, three elements are required.

i. Two metals with different corrosion potentials (anode and cathode)

ii. Direct metal-to-metal electrical contact

iii. A conductive electrolyte solution (e.g. water) must connect the two metals on a regular basis.

For example oxidation (corrosion) of aluminium wires when in contact with copper wire under wet conditions.

2. The most likely electrolyte will be rainwater containing dissoved solutes (if the panel is in an exposed part of the house) or damp/moist air.

3. From the table, the most likely screw will be chromium-plated steel screws or stainless steel (made of iron and nickel) screws or galvanized steel (zinc-plated) screws.

All these possible screw components have a more negative electrode potential than copper. Thus they will serve as the anode in a galvanic oxidation with copper.
