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

When the pressure that a gas exerts on a sealed container changes from 1100 bar to 75.5 bar, the temperature changes from k to 2
Serjik [45]
Gay-Lussac's law gives the relationship between pressure and temperature of gas. For a fixed amount of gas, pressure is directly proportional to temperature at constant volume.
P/T = k
where P - pressure , T - temperature and k - constant
\frac{P1}{T1} =  \frac{P2}{T2}
parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation 
substituting the values in the equation 
\frac{1100 bar}{T}  =  \frac{75.5 bar}{298 K}
T = 4342 K
initial temperature was 4342 K

Cooling a gas in a rigid container causes
maxonik [38]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Presumably the system is closed (nothing can escape or enter).

A: You're cooling the container so it shouldn't explode.

C: If the container is Closed, the volume cannot  increase or decrease.

D: is also impossible for the closed container reason.

B: The pressure has to decrease because the molecules are moving slower which decreases their velocity. If that happens the Force goes down.

B: Answer

Inferring conclusions if you find an element in nature in its pure elemental state what can you infer about the elements chemica
Grace [21]

Answer;

-Not that reactive

The element found is not very reactive.

Explanation;

-If an element is found in nature in its pure elemental state then the the element found is not very reactive.

-There are many elements which are not much reactive. such as in metals- Ag, Au, Hg, Cu etc. and in Non metals- O2, N2, Inert gases etc.

- For checking its chemical properties you will have to examine it with O2 or C-12.

List some situations where you would most likely rely on your peripheral vision? ( Lesson- the eye)
choli [55]

Peripheral vision is a part of sight that happens outside the very middle of gaze. There is a general set of non-middle points in the <span>sight field that is part in the idea of peripheral vision. Mostly, peripheral vision is used when playing sports namely basketball and volleyball because peripheral vision is also known as side view, we can see the object or person in the side without actually looking at them. </span>
