Why is the molecule nitrogen pentachloride impossible?
The small size of the central nitrogen means the larger chloride atoms cannot approach close enough to form stable N-Cl bonds due to mutual repulsive forces becoming dominant. it is due to the absence of vacant dorbitals in N atom
Is hydrogen chloride linear?
ITS BENT thats why you always see molecular pictures of the molecule like this O / \ H H and not like this H-O-H It has to do with the numbers of lone pairs bonded to the central atom (O)
What is carbon tertra chloride and where you use this?
Carbon tetrachloride, or CCl4, is a molecule with four chloride atoms and a central carbon atom. It has a tetrahedral molecular shape. It is a clear liquid with a sweet odor and readily evaporates. In the past, carbon tetrachloride was used as a pesticide and cleaning agent. It was also used in fire extinguishers and in producing refrigerants and aerosols. Because carbon tetrachloride has been found to affect the ozone layer of the atmosphere, its usage is declining.
Bond angle of NO2-?
The NO2 molecule is a bent molecule with a central nitrogen attached to two oxygen atoms. The bond angle between the N-O bonds is 134.30
How many bonds are in a cyanogen bromide molecule?
Cyanogen bromide is a molecule consisting of three atoms. There is a central carbon atom triple-bonded to a nitrogen on one side and single-bonded to a bromine on the other side. The C-N triple bond consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds, while the C-Br single bond is one sigma bond. The angle between the two bonds is 180 degrees, making this a linear molecule. The central carbon is sp-hybridized.
What connective tissue has solid matrix and lamella surronding central canals?
Bone tissue
What type of bond is cyanogen chloride?
Cyanogen chloride is a molecule consisting of three atoms. There is a central carbon atom, with a nitrogen triple-bonded on one side and a chlorine single-bonded on the other side. The angle between the two bonds is 180 degrees, making this a linear molecule. The C-N triple bond consists of a sigma bond and two pi bonds, while the C-Cl single bond consists of one sigma bond. The central carbon is sp-hybridized.
When the central atom of a molecule has unshared electrons the bond angles will?
When the central atom of a molecule has unshared electron, the bond angles will be less than when all the central atom's electrons are shared.
What is the Lewis electron dot structure for GeF2?
GeF2 is a bent molecule with two single bonds and one lone pair on the central atom (Ge). The two fluorines have six electrons (dots) around them along with the single bond to germanium. The central atom's hybridization is SP2 and the AXE scheme is AX2E. The angle between the two fluorines is about 118o.
What determine the molecule geometry of a molecule?
Consider: Number of bonding domains on the central atom Number of non-bonding electron pairs (lone pairs) on the central atom
What type of atom forms the central backbone of the glucose molecule?
carbon atoms forms the backbone of glucose molecule
What is the central atom in the Lewis dot structure of nitryl chloride ClNO2?
nitrogen
Which molecule contains a poryphyrin ring with a central magnesium atom?
Chlorophyll
Does Paris have a coast line or is the countries surronding it?
France does have a large coast line on the west side. Also, partly on the South. Paris, the city, is not near a coast, but rather in the north central part of the country.
Why beryllium chloride has a linear shape while water molecule has angular shape?
The linear shape of beryllium chloride is due to the fact that it has a small central atom relative to the size of the chlorine atoms. This results in a small bond angle and a linear shape. The angular shape of water molecule is due to the fact that it has a large central atom relative to the size of the hydrogen atoms. This results in a large bond angle and an angular shape.
How many bonds does the central atom of nitrogen have in Ammonia?
IN an ammonia molecule the central nitrogen atom has 3 three bonds.
What is Name one mineral element that formed the central atom of chlorophyll?
magnesium element forms the central atom of chlorophyll molecule
