Which hybridization of orbitals is present in beryllium fluoride, BeF2?

Chemistry
1 answer:
alisha [4.7K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer is: beryllium fluoride has sp hybridization.

Beryllium (Be) is metal from group 2 and fluorine (F) is nonmetal from group 17.

Electron configuration of beryllium atom: ₄Be: 1s² 2s².

Electron configuration of fluorine atom: ₉F 1s² 2s² 2p⁵.

In beryllium, one electron from 2s orbital gets excitted to the level of 2p orbital; s and p orbital are hybridized and form two sp-hybridised  orbitals arranged in a linear shape.

Two fluorine atoms come closer to beryllium atom and sp hybridised orbitals of Be and p orbital of F get overlapped with each other and make bonds.

Which set contains non-equivalent members?A) enthalpy and heat contentB) endothermic reaction and +HC) exothermic reaction and -
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Here in this question, what we will do is to select which of the pairs that do not correlate.

A. Enthalpy and heat content

This two terms are at par with each other. By definition, the enthalpy of a system simply is the total amount of heat content it has.

B. Endothermic reaction and +H

These two terms are at par with each other. An endothermic reaction is one in which heat is absorbed from the surroundings. It has a positive value for the heat content i.e the enthalpy is positive and thus H is positive.

C. Exothermic reaction and -H

An exothermic reaction is one in which heat is released to the environment. It usually has a negative value for the enthalpy and thus the value of H is negative.

D. High energy and High Stability

These two terms are not at par. When an entity has or is of high energy, it is usually unstable. An entity at a higher energy level will not be stable until it goes to a lower level of energy.

Thus higher energy level is associated with lesser stability while lower energy levels are associated with higher stability. The lesser the energy of an entity, the higher its stability.

This makes the option our answer.

When does a phyisical change occur?
ioda
Physical changes occur when objects or substances undergo a change that does not change their chemical composition. This contrasts with the concept of chemical change in which the composition of a substance changes or one or more substances combine or break up to form new substances.
