What leads to a divergence between the real geometry and the ideal geometry predicted by VSEPR theory?A. Lone pair electrons take up more space than bonding electrons. B. Lone pair electrons take up less space than bonding electrons. C. VSEPR theory does not account for bond strength. D. VSEPR theory does not account for polar bonds.

answer: h+ its less than oh

explanation:

periodic trends is an atom that gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase, the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. in general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to right of a certain period.

12 is it do you think so

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
