Explanation:

Water contains four electron domains this corresponds to a tetrahedral electron geometry. How ever, there are two lone pairs in the molecule hence it is bent.

CH2Cl2 is shows a tetrahedral molecular geometry and a tetrahedral electron geometry. This can only be observed from the structure of the compound.

OPCL3 is bonded to four groups making it a tetrahedral molecule. There are non lone pairs on phosphorus so the molecule is not bent.

CO3^2- is bonded to three groups which leads to a trigonal planar geometry.

ALCL6^3- contains six bonding groups which arrange themselves at the corners of a regular octahedron at a bond angle of 90°.

SO2 has four electron domains leading to a tetrahedral electron domain geometry according to valence shell electron pair repulsion theory. However, the lone pairs on the central atom in the molecule leads to a bent molecular geometry.

PCL5 has five electron domains without lone pairs of electrons on its central atom. Hence the molecule possess a trigonal bipyramidal geometry.

answer: i have one answer

acids are substances that ionize (break off) in an aqueous solution to produce hydrogen (h+) ions

explanation:

hope this and sorry i could only come up with one answer!
