Answer:

sp³;

sp²;

sp;

None;

One;

Two;

They're used to pi bonds.

Explanation:

The central atom in a molecule is generally the one that can make a greater number of bonds. The covalent bonds are made by the sharing of electrons, and, for that, the electron must be alone in the orbital.

To explain this, the hybridization theory was created, which states that, the orbitals are joined to form hybrids ones, and so, by the Hund's law, the electrons are alone in them.

The sigma bonds are done in the hybrids orbitals, and at the pure orbitals, the pi bonds are done. The lone pair of electrons are at a pure orbital. So, to know the hybridization of the central atom, we must know how many sigma bonds it does, and it will be the number of hybrids orbitals (each orbital may have two electrons, thus each bond are done in one orbital).

Double bonds and triple bonds have always only one sigma bond, so the number of sigma bonds is equal to the number of bonds, it's not necessary to know if they are simple, double or triple.

When the arrangement is tetrahedral, the central atom does 4 bonds, so it has 4 sigma bonds, and 4 hybrids orbitals (one of s and three for p), does its hybridization is sp³. Because exists only 3 p orbitals, there are no unhybridized p orbitals in this case.

When the arrangement is trigonal, the central atom does 3 bonds, so it has 3 hybrids orbitals (one of s and two of p), thus the hybridization is sp². So there are one unhybridized p orbitals.

When the arrangement is linear, the central atom does 2 bonds, so it has 2 hybrids orbitals (one of s and one of p), thus the hybridization is sp. So, there are two unhybridized p atoms.

As stated before, the unhybridized p orbitals are used to pi bonds.

Complete the following precipitation reactions with balanced molecular, total ionic, and net ionic equations:
Dmitry [639]

Molecular equation

Hg₂(NO₃)₂ (aq) + KI(aq) ⇒Hg₂I₂(s) + 2KNO₃(aq)

Total Ionic equation

Hg²⁺(aq) + 2NO³⁻(aq) + 2K⁺aq) ⇒Hg₂I₂(s) + 2K⁺(aq) + NO³⁻ (aq)

Net Ionic equation

Hg²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq)  ⇒ Hg₂I₂(s)

<h3>What is the molecular equation?</h3>

Sometimes, a balanced equation is all that is used to refer to a chemical equation. Any ionic substances or acids are represented using their chemical formulas as neutral compounds in a molecular equation. Each substance's state is described in parenthesis after the formula. A complete ionic equation also contains the spectator ions, whereas a net ionic equation just displays the chemical species that are involved in a reaction.

The steps listed below can be used to determine the net ionic equation for a specific reaction:

Include the states of each chemical in the balanced molecular equation for the reaction.

Why helium is duplet ??​
Llana [10]

Answer:

The outermost shell of helium for example is filled with only two electrons. Hydrogen and lithium become stable by acquiring the electronic configuration of the nearest inert gas, which is helium. This is the duplet (or duet) rule.
