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.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

0.83 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

Fe + CuSO₄ ⇒ Cu + FeSO₄

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 0.75 g of Fe

The molar mass of Fe is 55.85 g/mol.

0.75g \times \frac{1mol}{55.85g} = 0.013 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of Cu produced from 0.013 moles of Fe

The molar ratio of Fe to Cu is 1:1. The moles of Cu produced are 1/1 × 0.013 mol = 0.013 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.013 moles of Cu

The molar mass of Cu is 63.55 g/mol.

0.013mol \times \frac{63.55g}{mol} = 0.83 g

The appropriate answer is d. recording and studying seismic waves. Seismic waves behave differently as the enter the different layers of the Earth. Scientists used seismic or earthquake waves to determine the different layers of the Earth. The behaviour of the waves as they move through the layers helped scientists identify the boundaries and the state of each layer; solid or liquid.

A reaction of importance in the formation of smog is that between ozone and nitrogen monoxide described by O3(g)+NO(g)⟶O2(g)+NO2
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Initial rate of reaction is 2.07\times 10^{-3}M.s^{-1}.

Explanation:

It is a second order reaction.

Initial rate of reaction = k[O_{3}]_{0}[NO]_{0}   , where k is rate constant, [O_{3}]_{0} is the initial concentration of O_{3} and [NO]_{0} is the initial concentration of NO.

Here, k = 4.09\times 10^{6}M^{-1}.s^{-1}, [O_{3}]_{0}=5.84\times 10^{-6}M and [NO]_{0}=8.65\times 10^{-5}M

So, initial rate of reaction = (4.09\times 10^{6}M^{-1}.s^{-1})\times (5.84\times 10^{-6}M)\times (8.65\times 10^{-5}M)

= 2.07\times 10^{-3}M.s^{-1}

So, initial rate of reaction is 2.07\times 10^{-3}M.s^{-1}
