Want this question answered?
In binary compounds the more electropositive atom is consider as the central atom as in inter halogens for example in ClF, the cl is the central atom.
It depends on the hybridization of the central atom.
This was the Greek philosopher Leukippus and then his successor Democritus.
an atom that holds other atoms
the geometry of the central atom is trigonal pyramid and the shape of the compound will be bent
it may be predicted either by no of electrons around the central atom of the molecule or by type of hybridization process of orbirals of central atom....
In H2O, the central atom is Oxygen atom and it is sp3 hybridised
a nucleus cant be a central atom. the nucleus is part of the atom. you are probably talking about why certain atoms are central atoms in a molecule and why some arent. the answer to that question is that the more electronegative atom will always appear as a central atom.
Carbon, the central atom, is sp2 hybridized.
The central atom in H2S is sp3 hybridized
Sp2,120 is the hybridization of the central atom in SO2.
In binary compounds the more electropositive atom is consider as the central atom as in inter halogens for example in ClF, the cl is the central atom.
Dalton predicted that the atom of any element are different from the atoms of all other elements.
The VSEPR formula for the nitrogen atom as the central atom in glycine is Ax3e.
Albert Einstein did not split the atom. He did work that predicted what would happen when an atom was split, among many other things.
It depends on the hybridization of the central atom.
