Which affects the shape of molecule?
The number of bonds the atoms in the molecule can form.
Does graphite form a tetrahedral network?
NO. Diamond does, graphite contains sheets of carbon atoms.
How many atoms does water make up?
There are three atoms in a molecule of water. One oxygen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms. The simplified form for the molecule of water is H2O which is a coded form for the 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atoms that make up the molecule.
How can you predict how atoms will combine to form a molecule?
You can predict how atoms will combine to form a molecule because molecules always arrange their atoms in the same proportions because atoms bond together in predictable ways. :)
When two or more atoms bond together and share electrons they form what?
Two or more atoms that get together and share electrons form a chemical bond.
How many atoms are there in the molecule of phospherous P4?
The answer is four. The molecular formula of any element or compund gives you the number of atoms of each element in a molecule. For phosphorus the most common form is P4 . The molecules are tetrahedral with a P atom at each apex.
Which affects the shape of molecule?
The number of bonds the atoms in the molecule can form.
What is the fewest total number of atoms that can form a molecule?
The fewest total number of atoms that can form a molecule is one. Examples include the noble gases, such as helium (He) and neon (Ne), that exist as single atoms and are not bonded to any other atoms.
Is force of attraction between molecule of milk and molecule of water cohesive?
Water molecules are very cohesive due to the relative positive charge of their hydrogen atoms compared to their oxygen atoms, this allows them to form strong hydrogen bonds in a tetrahedral configuration.
Is SiCl4 a bent molecule?
The shape of the Silicon tetrachloride molecule is tetrahedral, a very symmetrical form.
Is CO2 a tetrahedral?
Yes carbon tetrachloride is tetrahedral because the base atom carbon has to have 8 valence electrons and sharing with the 4 chlorine atoms giving the carbon 8 valence electrons and so far each chlorine atom has two but all together there has to be 32 valence electrons and so surrounding 6 to each chlorine atom that already has two gives you 32 because 8×4=32
Does graphite form a tetrahedral network?
NO. Diamond does, graphite contains sheets of carbon atoms.
What is the number of atoms in aspirin?
There are twenty-one atoms per molecule. Acetylsalicylic acid's formula has the simple form C9H8O4.
What do atoms combined to form?
molecule
What is the geometry of a water molecule on apex?
A single water molecule consists of an oxygen atom with two hydrogen atoms attached to it. The three atoms, H-O-H make and angle of approx 105 degrees rather than lie in a straight line. However, in liquid water, the lone hydrogen atoms bond with neighbouring water molecules in form tetrahedral forms.
What are two atoms that bond with a oxygen atom to form a water molecule?
two atoms that bond with a oxygen atom to form a water molecule
When two or more atoms combine they form what?
A molecule/compound
