Answer:

sp³

Explanation:

Hybrid orbitals is the term used to describe the process resulting from the hybridization of orbals that promotes the creation of new orbitals in two atoms that are called hybrid orbitals because they are exactly the same, in number.

When these orbitals are generated, it is common for their origins to be at atomic sub-levels, mainly the "s" level and the "p" level, giving rise to the sp, sp² and sp³ orbitals.

The sp³ hybrid orbital, for example, is used by phosphorus in PCl4 + cations.

Answer:

sp³

Explanation:

Number of hybrid orbitals = ( V + S - C + A ) / 2

Where

H is the number of hybrid orbitals

V is the valence electrons of the central atom = 5

S is the number of single valency atoms = 4

C is the number of cations = 1

A is the number of anions = 0

For PCl₄⁺

Applying the values, we get:

H = ( 5+4-1+0) / 2

= 4

<u>This corresponds to sp³ hybridization.</u>

Chlorine is a very reactive non-metals. Why
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Chlorine is a very reactive non metals because this element don't form any known chemical compound.

Explanation:

Chlorine atoms have a lot of valance electrons without being complete on its own, so it has a greater need to seek it's conjugates. That's called electronegativity. Halogens are highly reactive because of their electronegativity.

The mass of magnesium, which has a density of 1.74 g/cm is 504.6 g.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass is the quantity of matter. Mass can be calculated by multiplying density by volume.

Magnesium is a chemical element with the atomic number 12. It is needed in the body in trace amounts. It can cause malnutrition in the body.

Mass = Density x volume

We know the density and the volume of magnesium.

Density = 1.74

Volume = 290

Density x volume

Putting the value in the equation

1.74 x 290 = 504.6 g

Thus, the mass of magnesium is 504.6 g.

To learn more about mass, refer to the below link:

HELP! THIS IS A TIMED QUIZ!!
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

A) Age!! Its because even if the object was 1 year old or 100 years old, nothing about the impact would change. However, those other categories depict features that would definitely make an impact. For example as object that is big, fast, and hits at an angle perpendicular to whatever it is moving towards, the impact will be very lage. But if its the opposite and it was small and slow, then the impact crater would not be as large. Good luck on your quiz!!
