if the central atom in a molecule is sp3 hybridized, how many different electronic geometries can it have?

Chemistry

jekas [21]1 year ago
6 0

Tetrahedral molecular geometry is the only one that can exist for sp3 hybridized center atoms.

<h3>Which chemical contains an sp3 hybridized central atom?</h3>
  • An atom that is bound and a nonponding pair of electrons are the two different kinds of electron domains.All bonded atoms count as one electron domain on the center atom, regardless of whether they are connected by a single, double, or triple bond.
  • There are five fundamental geometries for electron domains. The core oxygen atom in the water molecule has six valence electrons.The 6 valence electrons of oxygen are arranged in hybridized sp3 orbitals, resulting in 2 paired and 2 free electrons.
  • One s orbital and three p orbitals combine to generate four sp3 orbitals, each of which has a 25% s character and a 75% p character. This process is known as sp3 hybridization.
  • An example of CO2 can be used to illustrate how lone pairs of electrons make up an SP3 hybrid orbital.We are only able to count bond pairs or lone bonds.

Can matter exist at a temperature below absolute zero? Why or why not?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

A temperature below absolute zero: Atoms at negative absolute temperature are the hottest systems in the world. Summary: On the absolute temperature scale, which is used by physicists and is also called the Kelvin scale, it is not possible to go below zero – at least not in the sense of getting colder than zero kelvin.

Is it possible for a reaction to have a large equilibrium constant but small forward and reverse rate constants?
emmainna [20.7K]

The equilibrium constant K and the forward rate constant k1 and backward rate constant k2 has the following relation:

K = k1 / k2

 

So from the equation, we can say that yes it is possible to have large K even if k1 is small given that k2 is very small compared to k1: (k2 very less than 1)

<span>k2 << k1</span>

Aluminum is widely distributed throughout the world in the form of aluminosilicates. The property of these minerals prevents them from being a source of aluminum

Aluminum, silicon, and oxygen are the main elements found in aluminosilicate minerals, which have the IMA symbol Als. They make up a sizable portion of the minerals in kaolin and other clays.

Because some aluminosilicates' chemical compositions contain water, they have a clay-like consistency and can be utilized as thickeners, lubricants, and clay substitutes. Other, more crystalline aluminosilicates can be used to make glass, gemstones, industrial abrasives, and abrasives.

A hydrated aluminosilicate mineral called zeolite has a structure that is defined by connected tetrahedra, each of which has four oxygen atoms surrounding a silicon or aluminum cation.

{\boxed{\boxed{\tt { WHAT  \: IS \:  CARBON?}}}}

  • Carbon (from Latin: carbo "coal") is a chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6. It is nonmetallic and tetravalen - making four electrons available to form covalent chemical bonds. It belongs to group 14 of the periodic table. Carbon makes up only about 0.025 percent of Earth's crust.

How does the movement of molecules inside a solid block of iron change as the iron is heated?
gladu [14]
The correct answer among the choices is the first option. The movement of the molecules inside a block of iron when it is heated is affected by the movement being faster as compared to the first conditions. Temperature is said to be directly proportional to kinetic energy which means as temperature increases, the kinetic energy also increases. Therefore, molecules now are moving faster.
