In hydrochloric acid HCl the hydrogen atom orients itself as far away as possible from each other because this arrangement?
APEX minimizes the repulsion of electron groups
How many electron groups does NOF have and is it polar?
3 electron groups classified as trigonal planar. The molecular geometry is Angular or Bent whichever you prefer to call the shape. The ideal bond angles are 120 degrees and the molecule is polar.
What two elements are similar to phosphorus?
Phosphorus is in the 15th column of the periodic table (Nitrogen group) That means that it has similar valence shell electronic properties as nitrogen arsenic antimony bismuth
Why white phosphorus does not react with water?
These two most common forms of the element Phosphorus react differently because they are bonded differently. White phosphorus is structured as individual molecules of 4 atoms bonded together to form a tetrahedron. The P4 rings are held to each other by physical bonding (like other molecular substances) but no chemical bonding. These P4 rings are an unstable arrangement which makes the white phosphorus extremely reactive. Red phosphorus also has groups of 4 atoms, but they are not rings. One side is open, which allows each P4 group to chemically bond to a neighboring group, so that a huge amorphous network is formed instead of individual molecules. This is a relatively stable arrangement which makes the red phosphorus less reactive.
Does DNA or rna have phosphate groups?
Yes. Phosphorus is contained in the phosphates attached to the deoxyribose molecules on the double helix strands. (The stabilizing crossbars of the double helix are comprised of the four nucleic acids, paired off as adenosine-thymine, or A-T, and guanine-cytosine, or C-G).
If all of the electron groups around a central atom are bonding groups (that is there are no lone pairs) what is the molecular geometry for two electron groups?
linear
Determine the number of electron groups around the central atom for H2S?
It has 4
A molecule having four total electron groups around the central atom has three bonding electron groups and one nonbonding electron group what is its molecular structure?
trigonal pyramidal
The spatial arrangement of electrons groups around the central atom is called?
electron-group geometry
What The three-dimensional arrangement of electron groups around the central atom is called what?
three dimensional arrangement of atoms electron-group geometry
What is the electron geometry if you have 4 electron groups around the center atom?
tetrahederal
What is Hybridization of iodine in the molecule IF4 with a negative charge?
It is sp3d2 as there are six electron groups around the central fluorine , two lone pairs and four bonds .
What is the electron geometry of OF2?
Electron geometry for this is tetrahedral. There are two O-F single bonds, which makes 2 electron groups. There are two lone pairs around oxygen, which make up the last two electron groups. Molecules with four electron groups has a tetrahedral Electron geometry.
What food groups are found in phosphorus?
what food groups are phosphere in?
What is the hybridization of the central atom in SbF 3?
Hybridization orbitals are determined by the numbers of electron groups present around an atom. Valence shell theory dictates that with 2 electron groups, the atom is sp hybridized. With 3 election groups, it is sp2, and with 4, it is sp3. Since SF4 has 4 electron groups (each of the 4 single S-F bonds), the S atom is sp3 hybridized. In fact, each of the F atoms is also sp3 hybridized since each has 1 single S-F bond and 3 lone pairs (which each count as an electron group). Therefore, the F has 4 electron groups.
How does adenosine Triphosphate relate to phosphorus?
Phosphorus is in the phosphate groups that make up the tail of the ATP. The electrostatic repulsion between these groups is what makes this molecule so powerful.
If there were three electron groups around an atom how would they be arranged?
They would be arranged in a trigonal planar orientation.
