A.helium<span>Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe; helium is second. However, after this, the rank of abundance does not continue to correspond to the atomic number; oxygen has abundance rank 3, but atomic number 8.</span>
The answer is B.) Freezing of water
The decomposition of limestone CaCO3 > CaO + CO2
Let us check each statement one by one
a) Sb has a lower ionization energy but a higher electronegativity than I. : As per values given : Definitely Sb has lower ionization energy however the electronegativity of Sb is lower than that of iodine
b) Sb has a higher ionization energy but a lower electronegativity than I. FAlse:
Sb has lower ionization energy than I
c) Sb has a lower ionization energy and a lower electronegativity than I. True
d) Sb has a higher ionization energy and a higher electronegativity than I. False
Answer:
Hybridization: sp
Electron geometry: linear
Molecular geometry: linear
Explanation:
H₃CCCH can also be written as its Lewis structure which is shown in the figure attached. The figure shows that the central carbon atom makes a single bond with CH₃ and a triple bond with CH. This means that the hybridization of the carbon is sp and both the electron and molecular geometry are linear with an 180° bond angle.
