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.

Answer:

c.an extinct oceanic hot-spot volcano that has subsided below sea level

Explanation:

- Marine geology defines a guyot as an isolated underwater volcanic mountain with a flat top more than 200m below the surface of the sea.

-The flat top is due to years of wave erosion.

-Guyots can form a chain of seamounts as the ocean plate of the Earth's crust moves slowly over a hot spot that remains stationary beneath the plate.

Which of the following is an example of an even population distribution?
icang [17]
Even population distribution refers to a type of population distribution in which the arrangement is done in such a way that the distance between neighboring individual is maximized and uniform. This type of population distribution is usually found on the farm land, where the space in which the crops are planted have been carefully measured out. Thus an example of even population distribution is corn planted in a field.
