When four atomic orbitals are mixed to form hybrid orbitals, 4 x sp3 hybrid orbitals are formed.

<span>Carbon's 2s and all three of its 3p </span>orbitals<span> hybridize to form four sp</span>3 orbitals. These orbitals<span> then bond with four hydrogen atoms through sp</span>3-s <span>orbital </span>overlap, creating methane.

Answer:

Four

Explanation:

When atomic orbitals are combined, hybrid orbitals are formed. Hybrid orbitals exist only in covalent-bonded atoms and not in isolated atoms. The shapes and orientations of hybrids are different from that of atomic orbitals. The number of hybrid orbitals is same as the number of atomic orbitals that combined to form atomic orbitals. Thus, when 4 atomic orbitals are mixed then 4 hybrid orbitals are formed.

kaheart [24]

The moon clock is A) (9.8/1.6)h compared to 1 hour on Earth

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

In this problem, we want to compare the period of the pendulum on Earth with its period on the Moon. The period of the pendulum on Earth is

T_e=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_e}}

where

g_e = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity on Earth

The period of the pendulum on the Moon is

T_m=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_m}}

where

g_m = 1.6 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity on the Moon

Calculating the ratio of the period on the Moon to the period on the Earth, we find

\frac{T_m}{T_e}=\frac{g_e}{g_m}=\frac{9.8}{1.6}

Therefore, for every hour interval on Earth, the Moon clock will display a time of

A) (9.8/1.6)h

A person jogs eight complete laps around a quarter-mile track in a total time of 13.1 minutes
ExtremeBDS [4]
Speed and velocity have the same magnitudes. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity. In other words, speed is just a magnitude, while velocity is a magnitude with direction. They're essentially the same.

Let's convert miles to meters and minutes to seconds

1/4 mile = 402.34 meters ( 1 mile = 1609 m)
13.1 minutes = 786 seconds (1 minute = 60 seconds)

Speed is calculated as distance over time, thus,

Speed = (402.34 meters)*8/786 seconds
a.) Speed = 4.1 m./s
b.) Velocity = 4.1 m/s

What is the inverse square law and how does it relate to gravity?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Inverse Square Law Newton proposed the Inverse Square Law. The effect of gravity (and also on forces such as sunlight) works like this. If say we have a half-mass Earth, it would produce a gravity of not half but a quarter (the square of 2).
