Element atomic number position
Ba 56 group 2, period 6
Ca 12 group 2, period 3
S 16 group 16, period 3
Si `14 group 14, period 3
Now, you need to know the properties of the different type of elements and the tendencies on the periodic table.
The metallic elements are, those placed on the left side of the periodic table, are the ones that release an electron more easily, so they will requiere less energy to give it up when forming chemical bonds.
The higher the metallic character the less the energy need to give up an electron.
The metallic character grows as the group number decreases (goes to the left) period increases (goes downward), so among the elements considered, Barium will require the least amount of energy to give un an electron when forming chemical bonds.
Answer: The angle between the carbon-chlorine bonds in phosgene will be 120°
Explanation: Formula used to calculate the hybridization:
![{\text{Number of electron pairs}} =\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%7B%5Ctext%7BNumber%20of%20electron%20pairs%7D%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5BV%2BN-C%2BA%5D)
where,
V = number of valence electrons present in central atom i.e. carbon = 4
N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom = 2
C = charge of cation = 0
A = charge of anion = 0
For 
![{\text{Number of electron pairs}} =\frac{1}{2}[4+2-0+0]=3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%7B%5Ctext%7BNumber%20of%20electron%20pairs%7D%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5B4%2B2-0%2B0%5D%3D3)
The number of electron pairs are 3 which means that the hybridization will be 
and the electronic geometry of the given molecule will be trigonal planar.
The bond angle in this electronic geometry is 120°
The structure of phosgene is attached below.
The cerebrum is part of the brain that controls the functions of the voluntary activity in the body. If an organism is smaller than another organism, for this case a frog and a rabbit. It means that the frog and the processes inside that body are less complex. Thus, the cerebrum do not need to be bigger than the cerebrum of a bigger organism.
