Choose the answer which gives the electron-domain geometry and molecular geometry which are both correct for CS2 . a) The electron-domain geometry is tetrahedral. The molecular geometry is T-shaped. b) The electron-domain geometry is linear. The molecular geometry is T-shaped. c) The electron-domain geometry is linear. The molecular geometry is bent. d) The electron-domain geometry is tetrahedral. The molecular geometry is bent. e) The electron-domain geometry is linear. The molecular geometry is linear.

The electron-domain geometry is linear. The molecular geometry is linear.

Explanation:

According to the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR), the shape of a molecule depends on the arrangement of electron pairs present on the valence shell of the central atom of the molecule. Electron pairs are arranged in such a way as to minimize repulsion between them. The electron pairs are positioned as far apart in space as possible.

In CS2, both the molecular and electron pair geometries are linear because the electron pairs and bonding groups are positioned at an angle of 180° from each other. Hence the answer.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

it is a good conductor
