explain why a s bond formed by overlap of an s orbital with an sp3 orbital of carbon is stronger than a sbond formed by overlap

of an s orbital with a p orbital of carbon
Chemistry

sp^{3} orbital have less electron density than p orbital. Therefore on overlap of s orbital with sp^{3} less repulsion take place than overlapping of sp3 orbital.

Electronegativity depends on s character.

In sp^{3}  there is hybridization between one s and 3 p orbital. Therefore,   sp^{3}have 25% of s character .

In p orbital , there is no s orbital present. Therefore s character is p orbital is 0% .

Higher the electronegativity means higher tendency to attract electron.

Thus, bond form by overlap of sp^{3} and s will be stronger than bond formed by overlap of s with p.

6.02 x 1023<br> Significant figures
Bond [772]

Answer:

It depends on the number of significant figures you are changing to

Explanation:

6.02×1023=6158.46

1 sig fig = 6000

2 sig fig = 6200

3 sig fig = 6160

4 sig fig = 6158

5 sig fig = 6158.5

6 sig fig = 6158.46

When solving significant figures you have to consider the number after each number like in the case of changing to two sig fig the number following one is five and when the number is up to or greater than five you add a value of one to the number before it. But in a case where the number is less than five you just leave it like that like in the case of changing to one sig fig

Some fuel cells are powered by hydrogen. Scientists are looking into the decomposition of water (H2O) to make hydrogen fuel with
skad [1K]

Here we have to choose the challenge which is faced by the scientist to make a hydrogen fuel cell by using water.

The challenge that the scientists are facing a. decomposition of water requires a high energy.

For the generation of fuel cells by hydrogen the use of water (H₂O) is a challenging task as the H-O bond in  water is so strong and need high activation energy.

As per the mechanism of hydrogen fuel cell generation of H₂ is compulsory. Water remains in its solution as H₂O⇔H⁺ + OH⁻. The breaking of hydroxide ion (OH⁻) to form free hydrogen need a high energy, which cannot meet easily by any energy source.

The sun is always a renewable energy source as the energy of sun is infinitive.

The decomposition of water will only produce oxygen (O₂) and hydrogen (H₂) among which H₂ will be used in the fuel cell and O₂ is not at all harmful.

The excess O₂ is always good for the environment as it is the breathing source in the living system.
