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>

Why were colonists in new england angry at king james 2 abd governor edmund andros of new england?​
Pani-rosa [81]

His strict imposition of autocratic rule was supported by his appointment by the King, who otherwise was not directly involved.

Explanation:

Andros’ imposition of Episcopalian worship in the Old South Meeting house, Boston his vigorous enforcement of the Navigation Acts.

He had earned the enmity of the local populace by enforcing the restrictive Navigation Acts.

He had infuriated Puritans in Boston by promoting the Church of England, which was rejected by many Nonconformist New England colonists.

When news of the overthrow of James II (1688) reached Boston, the colonists revolted, deposing Andros and imprisoning him.

His requirement that landholders take out new land patents and his limitations upon town meetings and rights of local taxation all aroused sharp resentment in colonial America.
