In methane the central C atom is bonded to 4 H atoms forming 4 covalent bonds and adopts a tetrahedral geometry.

The valence electron configuration of C = 2s²2p²

H = 1s¹

In methane, one electron from the 2s orbital of C gets promoted to the 2p orbital creating 4 unpaired electrons. This mixing of the 2s-2p creates 4 sp3 hybrid orbitals each of which then bonds to the 1s orbital of H. Thus, in CH3, the C atom is sp3 hybridized.

This pattern of hybridization is also exhibited by CF2Cl2 in which the central C atom is spe3 hybridized and forms 4 covalent bonds: 2 C-F and 2 C-Cl

Ans: D) CF2Cl2

Can someone Summarize how the suns gravity affects the planets please.
egoroff_w [7]

The sun's gravity pulls the planet toward the sun, which changes the straight line of direction into a curve. This keeps the planet moving in an orbit around the sun. Because of the sun's gravitational pull, all the planets in our solar system orbit around it.

The last column of the periodic table contains the noble gases, elements that do not easily form chemical bonds. Why don’t these
netineya [11]
We call these reactive elements, becausethese atoms really like to follow the buddysystem and form bonds with other atoms.Noble gases, however, don't have thisproblem. Their outer shells are filled to the max, so they don't need to bond or react with any other atoms.
