It is correct, next time re-check your answer and don't second guess yourself. ;3
Using the length given '12 m', because the shape of the object is a square all sides are congruent.
Basically 12+12+12+12=48 or 12 x 4= 48
The answer is 48 m
Answer:
The central atom has 3 electron domains.
Explanation:
According to the Valence Shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR) put forward by Gillespie and Nyholm in 1957, the shape of a molecule is determined by repulsion between all the electron pairs (electron domains) present in the valence shell.
The electron pairs or electron domains are known to position themselves as far apart in space as possible in order to minimize repulsions.
Hence, when the central atom of a molecule contains three electron domains, they are positioned at an angle of 120° from each other to minimize repulsions. Hence the answer.
They connect at the joint
The noble gases are relatively unreactive because they have a stable octet of valence electrons.
Thus, they do not tend to undergo reactions in which they will gain or lose valence electrons,
However, <em>only He, Ne, and Ar are inert</em>. Kr and Xe combine with other highly reactive elements to form stable compounds.
