Concept Introduction:
Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory or VSEPR model is used to determine geometry of molecules. This is done with help of number of electron pairs that are present around central atom. According to this model, electron groups are arranged in such manner that minimizes repulsion with other electrons.

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- In groups and geometry, what kind of lattice do you obtain by v = (1, 0) and w = (2,-4)?arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between the structures of buckminsterfullerene and carbon nanotubes?arrow_forwardSilane SiH4, phosphine (PH3), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) melt at 185 C, 133 C, and 85 C, respectively. What does this suggest about the polar character and intermolecular attractions of the three compounds?arrow_forward
- Nanotechnology, or technology utilizing 1100 nm sized particles, has rapidly expanded in the past few decades, with potential applications ranging across far-reaching fields such as electronics, medicine, biomaterials, and consumer products, to name a few. One of the primary advantages of nanoparticles is the presence of large surface/mass ratios, resulting in enhanced surface activities compared to bulk materials. a Use the density of silver (10.49 g/cm3) to determine the number of Ag atoms in a spherical 20.-nm silver particle. b In the crystalline metallic environment, the measured radii of silver atoms has been measured to be 144 pm. Use this to calculate the atomic packing fraction of a 20.-nm silver particle. In other words, calculate the ratio of the volume taken up by Ag atoms to the volume of the entire nanoparticle. c Based on the result of part (b), silver conforms to which type of cubic crystal lattice? A simple cubic B body-centered cubic C face-centered cubic d A cubic Ag ingot having a mass of 5.0-g is processed to form a batch of 20.-nm Ag nanoparticles. Calculate the ratio of the surface area provided by the batch of nanoparticles to the surface area of the initial cube of Ag.arrow_forwardG. Bakale et al. (J. Phys. Chem., 12477 (1996)) measured the mobility of singly charged C60− ions in a variety of nonpolar solvents. In cyclohexane at 22 °C (viscosity is 0.93 × 10−3 kg m−1 s−1), the mobility is 1.1 × 10−4 cm2 V−1 s−1. Estimate the effective radius of the C60− ion. Suggest a reason why there is a substantial difference between this number and the van der Waals radius of neutral C60.arrow_forwardConstruct a (011) within a unit cell.arrow_forward
- Calculate the radius of a Vanadium atom ( V) given that it’s density is 6.11g/cm3 and that it crystallizes in a body centred cubic unit cell.arrow_forwardliquid nitrogen has a density if 875.4 kg/m^3 at its normal boiling point. what volume does a ballon occupy at 1 atm and 298K of 3.1x 10^-3 L of liquid N3 is injected into it?arrow_forwardWhat physical concept forms the premise of VSERP theory?arrow_forward
