A molecule that has a central atom surrounded by three single bond pairs and one unshared pair would have a trigonal pyramidal shape. The electon arrangement of this is called tetrahedral. It involves one atom located at the apex and at the corners are three atoms with a trigonal base. An example would be ammonia or NH3. Nitrogen has five valence electrons so that it needs to three more electrons to satisfy the octet rule and be stable. It would share electrons with the three nitrogen present. In order, to achieve the most stable geometry, the three atoms of hydrogen would attach with a bond angle of 109 degrees.

One of the basic building blocks of matter, which cannot be broken down by chemical means is a(n)______ , of which there are 92

Nadusha1986 [10]

One of the basic building blocks of matter, which cannot be broken down by chemical means is an element.

The first chemical element is hydrogen (atomic number is 1) and the last is oganesson (atomic number is 118).

Elements are scheduled in Periodic table, ordered by their atomic number.

Other example, krypton is a chemical element with symbol Kr and atomic number 36.

Krypton has 36 electron and 36. It is noble gas (group 18).

Noble gases are in group 18: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). They have very low chemical reactivity.

The melting point of the metal potassium is 63.5c, while that of titanium is 1660c. what explanation can be given for this great

kiruha [24]

The melting point of potassium = $63.5^{0}C$

Melting point of titanium = $1660^{0}C$

Titanium has a stronger metallic bonding compared to potassium. Titanium being a transition metal has greater number of valence electrons (4 valence electrons) contributing to the valence electron sea compared to potassium which has only one valence electron. The atomic size of Titanium much lower than that of potassium, so the bonding between Titanium atoms is stronger than that of potassium. Hence, the melting point of Titanium is much higher than that of potassium.

The compound sodium carbonate is a strong electrolyte. Write the reaction when solid sodium carbonate is put into water:

Ludmilka [50]

The compound sodium carbonate is a strong electrolyte because it completely dissociates when placed in water into its component ions. The equation of the reaction can be expressed as:

$Na_2CO_3_{(s)} ---> 2 Na^+_{(aq)} + CO_3^{(2+)}_{(aq)}$

The dissociation leads to the formation of sodium and carbonate ions with the latter held together by its internal covalent bond.

This is unlike weak electrolytes that do not dissociate completely in water or aqueous solutions. Only a small fraction of the solute exists as ions in the solution.
