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.

When an electron in a 2p orbital of a particular atom makes a transition to the 2s orbital, a photon of approximate wavelength 6
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is 3.07\times 10^{-19} J

Explanation:

Wavelength of the photon emitted = \lambda =646.3 nm =646.3\times 10^{-9} m

Energy of the photon will corresponds to the energy difference between 2p and 2s orbital = E

Energy of the photon is given by Planck's equation:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\tiomes 10^{-34} Js

c = Speed of the light = 3\times 10^8 m/s

E=\frac{6.626\tiomes 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{646.3\times 10^{-9} m}

E=3.07\times 10^{-19} J

The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is 3.07\times 10^{-19} J

The coordination sphere of a complex consists of ________. The coordination sphere of a complex consists of ________. the ligand
sammy [17]

Answer:

The coordination sphere of a complex consists of <u><em>the central metal ion and the ligands bonded to it.</em></u>

Explanation:

The Coordination Compounds are sets of a central metal ion attached to a group of molecules or ions that surround it. They are also called metal complexes or simply complexes. Then they are compounds that have a central atom surrounded by a group of molecules or ions, the latter called ligands.

The central atom must have empty orbitals capable of accepting pairs of electrons, with the transition metals being the ones with the greatest tendency. Because of this, they can act as Lewis acids (electron pair acceptors). The ligands have unshared electron pairs, then acting as Lewis bases (electron pair donors).

When forming a complex, it is said that the ligands coordinate to the metal and the central metal and the ligands attached to it constitute the coordination sphere of the complex.

Finally, <u><em>the coordination sphere of a complex consists of the central metal ion and the ligands bonded to it.</em></u>
