(a)
Interpretation: Whether the trend of bond angle in
Concept Introduction:
Lewis dot structure is also known as Lewis dot formula or electron dot structure. VSEPR theory stands as Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory. It helps to predict the molecular shape or geometry of the molecule with the help of the number of bond pair or lone pair present in it. According to VSEPR theory, the presence of lone pair on the central atom of molecule causes deviation from standard molecular geometry.
(b)
Interpretation: The other two C-E-C angles that suspects more and should be reinvestigated as of As(CF3)3 should be explained.

- Calculate the energy separations in joules, kilojoules per mole, and electronvolts, and as a wavenumber, between the levels (a) n = 3 and n = 1, (b) n = 7 and n = 6 of an electron in a one-dimensional nanoparticle modelled by a box of length 1.5 nm.arrow_forwardIf [CH4}) = 0.1M; [O2] = 0.25M\[CO2 ]= 0.35M and [H2O] = 0.15M what is the value of Qc?arrow_forwardBased on the relative likelihood of these possibilities and any other potential structures that YOU can draw, determine the bond order for the first N—N bond. If your answer is a fraction, use that fraction as the decimal equivalent (i.e. 1 1/4 = 1.25, etc.)arrow_forward
- Is structure 4 or 2 the correct option due to sn2 inversion ?arrow_forwardThe donor level associated with the nitrogen lies about 1.7 eV below the conduction band. How does this donor level arise? Why do natural diamonds do not behave as semi-conductors?arrow_forwardThe following data refer to a family of compounds with the general composition A-Bn-C in which the distance R between A and C was varied by increasing the number of B units in the linker: Are the data described adequately by the Forster theory, If so, what is the value of R0 for the A-C pair?arrow_forward
