Explanation:
When carbon atom tends to form single bonds then its hybridization is 
, when carbon atom tends to form double bond then its hybridization is 
and when a carbon atom is attached to a triple bond or with two double bonds then its hydridization is sp.
For example, in HCN molecule there is a triple existing between the carbon and nitrogen atom.
So, hybridization of carbon in this molecules is sp. Moreover, nitrogen atom is also attached via triple bond and it also has a lone pair of electrons. Hence, the hybridization of nitrogen atom is also sp.
Thus, we can conclude that s and p type of orbitals overlap to form the sigma bond between C and N in H−C≡N:
It broke up in the Mesozoic era.
Answer:
Potassium permanganate has a molar mass of 158.04 g/mol. This figure is obtained by adding the individual molar masses of <em><u>four oxygen atoms</u></em>, <em><u>one manganese atom</u></em> and <em><u>one potassium atom</u></em>
Explanation:
Remember that a cation will be smaller than its neutral atom, and an anion will be larger than its neutral atom. This would automatically eliminate answer choices A and D.
Also keep in mind that atomic radii decreases from left to right as you move along a periodic table. It also decreases from bottom up.
Atomic radii increases as you move from right to left and as you go from up to down.
As bromine is higher up in the periodic table than Iodine, it would have a smaller radius. Iodine would have a larger radius.
The correct answer is B. Br
