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.

How does the periodic table tell me if a element is solid, liquid, gas, or man made?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

if you search up the periodic table and go to any website it will let you press on the element and it will say if it is a gas,solid or liquid and it might say if it is man made!

What is Chemical Bonding?<br>Explain please.​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Chemical bonds are how atoms, and even molecules join together.

Explanation:

There are two main types of primary chemical bonds. While secondary links relate to molecules, primary ties are atom to atom. This answer explains basic primary bonds only.

One must comprehend what a valence shell is before I proceed. The outer electron orbital of an atom is known as the valence shell. Most of the time (except from hydrogen), atoms desire to have 8 electrons in their valence shell, thus they form bonds with other atoms to accomplish this.

<em>All bonds result in a new chemically different molecule. Now, the two types are:</em>

  1. Covalent: When two atoms combine their electrons to fill their valence shells. The atoms are joined together by this "sharing."
  2. Ionic: When one atom <em>transfers</em> an electron to another atom in order to fulfill the valence electron requirement. Because electrons have a negative charge, the atom that <em>produced </em>them gains a positive charge as a result of losing its negative charge. The atom that received the electron therefore acquires a negative charge. Because opposing charges attract, it seems sense that the charged atoms bind as a result.
