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

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.

Fluorine (F) has seven electrons in its outermost shell. Fluorine _____.
kow [346]
Fluorine is a nonmetal and as such it would need to take in or obtain an electron from a metal to have a stable octet, or full number of 8 electrons in its valence shell. Thus due to the indifference of electrons and protons it becomes an anion, a negatively charged ion.

A pair of students determining the molarity of their unknown HCl solution calculates the concentration to be 0.0961 M on their f
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

It should be noted that the meaning of molarity is the ratio of moles of solute per liter of solution.

It should be understood that when determining or finding the molarity of an unknown compound ,the process should be performed or carried out at least 3 times. This is done to remove any form of doubt.

The first calculated value for the concentration of the compound will be regarded as rough value, while the second and the third will be regarded as the first and second values respectively.

In this case, the third value for the concentration of HCl will be calculated to for confirmation of other value, that is to be finally sure of its concentration.
