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.

Delta S reaction= Delta S products- Delta S reactants

don't forget to mulitiply by coefficients

also

here is a really slow way to do it

you know the moles of gas increased

so Delta S is positive

so its B or D

then just do the units digit to see which one match up

Answer: The coefficients for the given reaction species are 1, 6, 2, 3.

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + Cl^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+} + Cl_{2}

Now, the two half-reactions can be written as follows.

Reduction half-reaction: Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 3e^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}

This will be balanced as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 14H^{+} + 6e^{-} \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 7H_{2}O ... (1)

Oxidation half-reaction: Cl^{-} \rightarrow Cl_{2} + 1e^{-}

This will be balanced as follows.

6Cl^{-} \rightarrow 3Cl_{2} + 6e^{-} ... (2)

Adding both equation (1) and (2) we will get the resulting equation as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 14H^{+} + 6Cl^{-} \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 3Cl_{2} + 7H_{2}O

Thus, we can conclude that coefficients for the given reaction species are 1, 6, 2, 3.
