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.

Answer:

Explanation:

It depends on how this is done. If you raise the pressure, the nitrogen will disappear (liquify) and all that will be left will be the 21 % oxygen and the 1% argon.

The process is very complicated because the boiling point of nitrogen keeps on changing. The boiling point is unstable.

Which scientist arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic number, rather than increasing atomic mass?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Henry Moseley

Explanation:

Dmitry Mendeleef and Lothar Meyer proposed a periodic table based on the atomic mass.

They stated a periodic law expressed as "chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights".

But, Henry Moseley in 1900s re-stated periodic law by changing the basis of the law from atomic weight to atomic number.

The present periodic law is stated as "the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number".

Which equation correctly relates kinetic energy mass and velocity
jolli1 [7]

Answer: The equation for kinetic energy is \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by the virtue of object's motion. It is defined as the work needed to move a body of a given mass from rest to its velocity.

Mathematically,

K.E.=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

m = mass of the body

v = velocity of the body.

Hence, above equation relates kinetic energy to the mass and velocity of the body.
