Explanation:
The O atom is sp3 in a water molecule, with two sigma bonds and two lone pairs of electrons like that in water. The steric integer is thus 4, and its structure is tetrahedral.
The C atom is sp hybridised into two identical bonds and two identical bonds in acetylene.
The steric integer is therefore 2 because only sigma bonds are engaged in deciding hybridization, and its structure is linear.
The C atom is sp2 hybridised in ethene with single pi bond and three sigma identical bonds.
Thus the steric integer is 3, and its structure is planar trigonal.
The C atom is sp2 hybridized in ethene, with one pi bond and three sigma identical bonds.
The steric integer would therefore be 3 and its structure is planar trigonal.
The O atom is sp3 in a water molecule with two bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons like that. The steric integer is thus 4, and its structure is tetrahedral.
The C atom is sp3 in a methane ring, with 4 bond pairs and no solitary pairs of electrons like that. The steric integer is thus 4, and its structure is tetrahedral.
Answer:
solid
Explanation:
Melting and boiling points of Group 7 elements State at room temperature Room temperature is usually taken as being 25°C. At this temperature, fluorine and chlorine are gases, bromine is a liquid, and iodine and astatine are solids. There is therefore a trend in state from gas to liquid to solid as you go down the group.
