In ammonia, a central nitrogen atom is bonded to three hydrogen atoms. similarly, boron trifluoride has a central boron atom bonded to three fluorine atoms. however, ammonia is pyramidal and boron trifluoride is trigonal planar in shape. which statement justifies this difference in their structure?
a. the lone pair of electrons in boron trifluoride increases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a planar structure.
b. the lone pair of electrons in boron trifluoride decreases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a planar structure.
c. the lone pair of electrons in boron trifluoride stabilizes the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a planar structure.
d. the lone pair of electrons in ammonia increases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a pyramidal structure.
e. the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen in ammonia decreases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a pyramidal structure.

Amerry-go-round of radius r, shown in the figure, is rotating at constant angular speed. the friction in its bearings is so small that it can be ignored. a sandbag of mass m is dropped onto the merry-go-round, at a position designated by r. the sandbag does not slip or roll upon contact with the merry-go-round. how would you rank the following different combinations of m and r on the basis of the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the sandbag "sticks" to the merry-go-round from largest to smallest. a) m = 10kg, r = 0.25r b) m = 20kg, r = 0.25r c) m = 10kg, r = 0.50r d) m = 10kg, r = 1.0r e) m = 15kg, r = 0.75r f) m = 40kg, r = 0.25r
