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.

Katena32 [7]

Answer: The number of moles of strontium bicarbonate is $7.5\times 10^{-9}mol$

Explanation:

Formula units are defined as lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound. It is calculate by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's number which is $6.022\times 10^{23}$

We are given:

Number of formula units of $Sr(HCO_3)_2=4.55\times 10^{15}$

As, $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of formula units are contained in 1 mole of a substance.

So, $4.55\times 10^{15}$ number of formula units will be contained in = $\frac{1}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 4.55\times 10^{15}=7.5\times 10^{-9}mol$ of strontium bicarbonate.

Hence, the number of moles of strontium bicarbonate is $7.5\times 10^{-9}mol$
