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.

What is the name of the ability to use up energy in one second

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Work

Explanation:

Work is defined as the ability to use energy in one second and its SI unit is same as energy that is joule.

Work refers to the energy utilized to displace an object over a distance by an external force in one direction and in given time period which can be one second as well.

Hence, the correct answer is "work".

According to the rate law, how do concentrations affect rate?

IrinaK [193]

D, the rate increases as concentrations increase.

Typically, reaction rates decrease with time because reactant concentrations decrease as reactions are converted to products. Reaction rates generally increase when reactant concentrations are increased.

<span>Two scientists wrote a paper detailing their research and conclusions and submitted it to a scientific journal. Several months later, they received the paper back from the publisher with many comments attached from several fellow scientists. It is either that they revise their study or replicate the study. Most scientists would revisit their work and the findings they had from their research. Most probable if they were successful and the comments of the publisher and the co-scientists were positive they could replicate the study to validate its accountability.<span>
