Answer:

sp^{3} on N overlaps with 1s on H.

Explanation:

Hybridization of central atom generally can be found by finding the hybridization number.Hybridization number is the sum of number of lone pairs and number of sigma bonds.

If hybridization number is 2 then the central atom is sp hybridized.

If it is 3 it is sp^{2} hybridized.

If it is 4 it is sp^{3} hybridized and so on.

Here in NH_{3} molecule there are 3 sigma bonds and one lone pair(see the figure attached).

Hence hybridization number is 4 and hence it is sp^{3} hybridized.

And in case of hydrogen atom the only electron of it resides in the 1s orbital.

Therefore sp^{3} on N overlaps with 1s on H.

Which half-reaction correctly shows the oxidation of iron
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

What is the oxidation half reaction for iron?

The two elements involved, iron and chlorine, each change oxidation state; iron from +2 to +3, chlorine from 0 to -1. There are then effectively two half-reactions occurring. These changes can be represented in formulas by inserting appropriate electrons into each half-reaction: Fe2+ → Fe3+ + e.

Hope this helps..

Count the total number of atoms in the chemical formula 5H2O2
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

20 atoms

Explanation:

There are 4 in H2O2 because of 2 hydrogens and 2 oxygens.

Then, multiply by 5 because the coefficient is 5, therefore there are 5 H2O2 molecules.

5 x 4 = 20
