I know of no structure caused by pairs of reverse faults. Pairs of normal faults can cause "horsts" and "graben". However in horizontal stress fields where the maximum principle stress is parallel to the Earth's surface and the minimum principle stress is normal to the Earth's surface only one one fault surface/plane usually develops (which may be imbricated) as the shortening and thickening usually build away from the source of compression. Also as the crust thickens the principal stress will not remain normal to Earth's surface for long.

Reverse faults at very high strains therefore merge into napes or subduction zones.

The Lewis structure of PF3 shows that the central phosphorus atom has how many non bonding and how many bonding electron pairs?

The Lewis structure of PF3 shows that the central phosphorus atom has one non-bonding electron pair and three bonding electron pairs. Phosphorus has five valence electrons, and in PF3, one is non-bonding while the other three are shared in bonds with the fluorine atoms.


What is the electronic geometry for CS2?

The electron-pair geometry of CS2 is linear because the Lewis structure is S=C=S. Double bonds act as one electron pair to help determine electron-pair geometries of molecules according to VESPR theory


What is molecular structure of ammonia?

Ammonia molecule is Pyramidal because nitrogen in ammonia has 3 bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons, due to presence of lone pair the H-N-H bond angle is about 107 degree less than normal tetrahedral angle 109.5 degree.


What is the Lewis structure for Ammonium chloride?

The Lewis structure for ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) consists of an ammonium ion (NH4+) bonded to a chloride ion (Cl-). The nitrogen atom in NH4+ has a lone pair of electrons, forming coordinate covalent bonds with the four hydrogen atoms. The chloride ion has a full octet.


What is role of lone pair in hydrogen bonding?

Lone pairs in molecules can serve as hydrogen bond acceptors, meaning they can form hydrogen bonds with hydrogen atoms that are bonded to electronegative atoms like nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine. This interaction helps to stabilize the structure and properties of molecules, such as increasing boiling points and altering intermolecular forces. The lone pair acts as a Lewis base in the hydrogen bonding process.

What are the characteristics of Lewis structure formulas?

Lewis structure formulas are flat graphical formulas which do not contain any 3D information. A line in a Lewis structure represents a single bond formed between two electrons, while a pair of dots can be used to show a bonding pair or a pair of non-bonding electrons.
