The earth wouldn’t have an atmosphere
Explanation:
Formula to calculate hybridization is as follows.
Hybridization = ![\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5BV%2BN-C%2BA%5D)
where,
V = number of valence electrons present in central atom
N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom
C = charge of cation
A = charge of anion
So, hybridization of 
is as follows.
Hybridization = ![\frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5BV%20%2B%20N%20-%20C%20%2B%20A%5D)
= ![\frac{1}{2}[2 + 2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5B2%20%2B%202%5D)
= 2
Hybridization of is sp. Therefore, is a linear molecule. There will be only two electron groups through which Be is attached.
Similarly, hybridization of 
is calculated as follows.
Hybridization =
= ![\frac{1}{2}[8 + 2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5B8%20%2B%202%5D)
= 5
Therefore, hybridization of is ![sp^{3}d. Therefore, [tex]XeF_{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=sp%5E%7B3%7Dd.%20Therefore%2C%20%5Btex%5DXeF_%7B2%7D)
is also a linear molecule. Though there are three lone pair of electrons present on a xenon atom and it is further attached with fluorine atoms through two electron pairs. Hence, there are in total five electron groups.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options is the correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Higher velocity of particles
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
The diffusion rate is determined by a variety of factors which includes;
- Temperature such that the higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the particles will have, so they will move and mix more quickly and the diffusion rate will be high.
- Concentration gradient such that the greater the difference in concentration, the quicker the rate of diffusion.
- Higher velocity of particles increases the diffusion rate as this means more kinetic energy by the particles and hence the particles will mix and move faster, thus higher diffusion rate.
