Answer: tetrahedral

Explanation:

Hybridization is calculated using the Lewis dot structures of all the compounds.

Formula used to calculate the number of atomic orbitals around central metal atom is:

Number of atomic orbitals around central metal atom = Number of bond pairs + Number of lone pairs

Bond pairs for a double bond and triple bond is taken as 1 only.

Given: Number of bond pairs = 4

Number of lone pairs = 0

If Number of atomic orbitals around central metal atom are 4 , the hybridization is $sp^3$ and electron domain geometry is tetrahedral.

It should be tetrahedral. Good example is CH4

How many grams are there in 1.18 X 1026 atoms of iridium?

stealth61 [152]

You want to divide by avagadros number (6.22 x 10^23). This will cancel the atoms unit and give moles, moles of Iridium. Now you want to calculate the atomic mass of Iridium which is in units of grams per mole. Multiply these two numbers and the moles will cancel giving you grams.

Setting up a dimension analysis type of thing helps tremendously. See what you have to cancel in order to get what you want. We canceled the atoms, then we canceled the moles, and then we got grams.

Answer:

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of N (7 electrons): 1s² 2s² 2p³.

The orbital 1s is filled with two electrons and their spinning direction is opposite and also electrons of 2s.

3p contains (3 electrons) should fill the 3 orbitals firstly. Every orbital contains 1 electron and be in the same spin direction.

So, the right choice is c.

A is wrong because 2 electrons of 3p are paired in the first orbital before filling every orbital.

B is wrong because the 2 electrons of 1s and 2s are in the same direction and also 2 electrons of 3p are paired in the first orbital before filling every orbital.

D is also wrong the 2 electrons of 1s and 2s are in the same direction and the electron in the second orbital of 3p are in opposite direction of the other 2 electrons.

Ppredict the identity of the precipitate in the below reaction:<br><br> BaCl2(aq) + K2SO4(aq) →

Annette [7]

Answer: The precipitate formed is $BaSO_4$

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid or precipitated form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

A double displacement reaction in which one of the product is formed as a solid is called as precipitation reaction.

The balanced chemical equation is:

$K_2SO_4(aq)+BaCl_2(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2KCl(aq)$
