Lewis structures are one of the ways to determine the molecule's shape and geometry, electron arrangement, along with lone pairs/bond pairs which helps to predict reactivity.Answer and Explanation: Nitrate ion: N has 5 valence electrons, O has 6. Total valence electrons for N...
For the molecule PCl5 (phosphorus pentachloride), draw a proper Lewis structure that clearly identifies all electrons and has the predicted geometric (VSEPR) shape. Name and comment on the polarity of the molecule (polar or non polar). How can you tell if a chemical bond is polar or not?
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) anionic clay materials have gained significant attention due to their versatile applicability in various fields because of their unique structure, lewis-bronsted basic nature, proton abstraction, active sites generation, efficient separation of photogenerated electrons and ...
