The correct answer is C. square planar
According to the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory(VSEPR), The shape of a molecule depends on the number of electron pairs in the molecule.
VSEPR theory was first coined by Gillespie and Nyhlom in 1957 as an improvement over the Sidgwick - Powell theory.
According to this theory, the shape of a molecule is determined by the number of electron pairs that surround the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule. The electron pairs are positioned as far apart in space as possible to minimize repulsion of electron pairs.
However, the presence of lone pairs distorts the shape anticipated for the molecule on the basis of VSEPR.
For a molecule having six electron pairs, an octahedral geometry is expected(electron domain geometry). However, the presence of two lone pairs which are positioned at opposite side of the four single bonds leads to an observed square planar molecular geometry.

KOH could serve as a reactant in a neutralization reaction
Answer:
21 mL of NaOH is required.
Explanation:
Balanced reaction:
Number of moles of HBr in 11.0 mL of 0.30 M HBr solution
= moles = 0.0033 moles
Let's say V mL of 0.16 M NaOH solution is required to reach equivalence point.
So, number of moles of NaOH in V mL of 0.16 M NaOH solution
= moles = 0.00016V moles
According to balanced equation-
1 mol of HBr is neutralized by 1 mol of NaOH
So, 0.0033 moles of HBr are neutralized by 0.0033 moles of NaOH
Hence,
So, 21 mL of NaOH is required.
Answer:
1. Proton = electron if the element is not in an ionic state
proton = atomic number
Answer:
Humidity is the amount of moisture (water vapor) in the air. It can be expressed as absolute humidity or relative humidity. Absolute humidity is the mass of water vapor divided by a unit volume of air (grams of water/cm3 of air).
