I believe/thought they were very similar due to the fact that they both undergo a process called “oxidation” where they release oxygen into the atmosphere.
The answer is letter (B).
Answer:
sp3 hybridization
Explanation:
Hybridization means the mixing of atomic orbitals to yield hybrid orbitals with characteristics that are different from that of the isolated atomic orbitals before the combination.
sp3 hybridization occurs when one s orbital is mixed with three p orbitals to yield four sp3 hybrid orbitals which can be used to bond to a central atom.
The central atom is then located at the center of a regular tetrahedron at a bond angle of 109°.
The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on.
To calculate the average mass of the element, we take the summation of the product of the isotope and the percent abundance. In this case, the equation becomes 186.207=187*0.626+185*x where x is the percent abundance of 185. The answer is 0.374 or 37.4%. This can also be obtained by 100%-62.6%= 37.4%.
