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

Answer:

Explanation:

   The nitrates of Bi,Sn and Cd is ruled out because their sulfides are insoluble in acidic medium.

Nitrates of Ni or Co may be present because their sulfides are insoluble in basic medium. The presence of other nitrates are ruled out.

Which observation would best support that the bond present was a covalent bond?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

A covalent bond is present between two non-metals that share electrons in their molecular structure.

Explanation:

Examples of covalent bonds may be between carbon dioxide or water. And there may be three types of covalent bonds such as ionic, covalent and polar. In the first type, there is a transfer of an electron resulting in a gain for one of the atoms. In the second type, there is a sharing of electrons between the atoms. The third type is characterized by a difference in electronegativity between atoms.
