When pcl5 solidifies it forms pcl4 cations and pcl6–anions. according to valence bond theory, hybrid orbitals that  are used by phosphorus in the pcl4 cations are one orbital of s and three orbital of p as it is sp³hydridised.

<h3>What is sp³ hybridization?</h3>

Hybridization is a process or system which specifies the shape and geometry of any element or molecule with bond angles too.

The pcl4 cation is sp³ hybridized because of the phosphorus behave as a central atom here and the 4 chloride molecules are attached with the p- orbitals to the phosphorus molecule.

Therefore, pcl4 cation  is sp³ hybridized.

The C=C bond in 2-cyclohexenone produces an unusually strong signal. Explain using resonance structuresBased on the above resona
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

When two single single bonds separated by a double bond (e.g C=C-C=C or C=C-C=O in the case of 2-cyclohexenone), the effect of resonance among those there bonds will be observed.

Explanation:

Since the Oxygen atom has higher electronegativity, it will cause the electrons in the resonance bonds 'flow' toward the Oxygen atom, so that the C=C will 'lose' some electron. The signal read for that bond will be different from other alkene structure.

Attachment is the resonance structure of 2-cyclohexene.

Draw the structures of all monobromo derivatives of pentane, c5h11br, which contain a 4-carbon chain.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Two or more compounds that have same molecular formula but differ in the arrangement of atoms in molecule and thus posses different properties are known as isomers.

The molecular formula of pentane is C_5H_1_2 substituting one hydrogen from pentane with bromine results in the formation of monobromo derivatives of pentane having molecular formula, C_5H_1_1Br.

The structure of monobromo derivatives of pentane that is 1-bromopentane, 2-bromopentane, and 3-bromopentane and having molecular formula, C_5H_1_1Br is shown in the image.

The other two arrangements of monobromo derivatives of pentane that is 2-bromo-2-methylbutane and 2-bromo-3-methylbutane is shown in the image.

There are different structures of monobromo derivatives of pentane having molecular formula, C_5H_1_1Br which contain a 4-carbon chain are 1- bromo-2-methylbutane and 1-bromo-3-methylbutane shown in the image.

1 mole of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and 1.75 moles of NaOH are added to the one liter water. Calculate the pH.
Marina CMI [18]
Moles of H⁺ released by each mole of acid = 3
Moles of H⁺ released = 3

Moles of OH⁻ released = 1.75

Moles of H⁺ remaining = 3 - 1.75 = 1.25 mol/dm³

pH = -log[H⁺]
pH = -log(1.25)
pH = -0.1
