1. Make a Prediction
2. Fill both beakers with water
3. Dissolve salt in one of the beakers
4. Place both in the freezer and observe
5. Write a report
(Always make the prediction first! That's a hypothesis!)
Answer is: Benzene is trigonal (or triangular) planar.
VSEPR theory (The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory) uses the AXE notation (m and n are integers, m + n = number of regions of electron density).
For benzene molecule (C₆H₆):
m = 3; the number of atoms bonded to the central atom.
n = 0; the number of lone pairs on the central atom.
Answer:
b) 0.47
Explanation:
MwC5H12 = 72.15g/mol
⇒mol C5H12 = (10.0)*(mol/72.15)=0.1386molC5H12
MwC6H14=86.18g/mol
⇒molC6H14=(20.0)*(mol/86.18)=0,232
MwC6H6=78.11g/mol
⇒molC6H6=(10.0)*(mol/78.11)=0.128molC6H6
<h3>XC6H14=(0.232)/(0.1386+0.232+0,128)=0.465≅0.47</h3>
Answer:
C
Explanation:
because valence electrons are located at the last energy level
