An ab4 molecule has two lone pairs of electrons on the a atom (in addition to the four b atoms). what is the electron-domain geometry around the a atom?

Answer : The electron-domain geometry around the 'A' atom is, octahedral.

Explanation :  

As per given in the question, an has two lone pairs of electrons on the atom 'A' and four number of monovalent atoms (B) are bonded to the central atom.

That means, the total number of electrons pairs = 2 + 4 = 6

The number of electrons pairs is 6 that means the hybridization will be and the electronic or electron domain geometry of the molecule will be octahedral.

The electron domain geometry is also shown below.

Hence, the electron-domain geometry around the 'A' atom is, octahedral.

1. 1 mole of anything contains 6.022x10^23 pieces  

d  

2. a  

3. c, number  

5. 1.24x10^24atoms / 6.022x10^23atoms/mole = 2moles h2 atoms  

6. fe2br3 mass = 2moles x mass fe + 3 moles x mass br  

molar mass = grams / number of moles = g/mole  

to find moles = g / molar mass  

to find mass = g = molar mass / moles

it should have an internal chamber and two thermometers sticking out of the top. the internal chamber will also be closed off from the outside.
