Which does not described the relationship between the nucleus and the electron cloud of an atom?
The masses of the nucleus and electron cloud are balanced
The concept that electrostatic repulsion between electron pairs surrounding an atom causes these pairs to be separated as far as possible is the foundation?
VSEPR theory
What states that the Electrostatic repulsion between the valence level electron pairs surrounding an atom causes these pairs to be oriented as far apart as possible?
The Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theorystates that electrons associated with a central atom repel each other in a way that they affect the geometry of the molecule.
What is the shape of the molecul nitrogen trifluoride?
NF3 has trigonal pyramidal shape. Around nitrogen, there are 1 lone pair electron and 3 bond pair electrons. The lone pair-bond pair electron repulsion is greater than bond pair-bond pair electron repulsion. The angle between N-F bond pairs are 107 degrees
What is th bond angle of C2H4?
Between the H-C-H bond in C2H4 there is a 119degree bond angle due to electron repulsion theory.
What is the difference between the Lewis model and the valence-shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) model?
VSEPR only shows the geometric shape of the element
What is the difference between repulsion and non-attraction?
there the same
What is the difference between repulsion and non attraction?
there the same
What are repelled in the VSEPR teory?
The repulsion is between valence electrons.
What is the difference between forces of attraction and forces of repulsion?
The difference is in the direction of the force.
What happens when two atoms are too close?
If they can bond, they will, and form a molecule. If they can't, then they bounce away.

What is the difference between hydrogen and an electron?
Hydrogen is an element, the electron is a subatomic particle.
Why oxygen is having two electron affinity?
First EA is usually exothermic as energy is released when the nucleus attarcts an electron is larger than the energy taken in to overcome their inter-electronic repulsion. Second EA is always endothermic since electron is added to a negative ion. Energy is needed to overcome the repulsion between the two negatively charged species.
