Answer : The orbitals that are used to form each indicated bond in citric acid is given below as per the attachment.

Answer 1) σ Bond a : C has SP^{2}  O has SP^{2} .

Explanation : The orbitals of oxygen and carbon which are involved in SP^{2} hybridization to form sigma bonds. This is observed at 'a' position in the citric acid molecule.

Answer 2) π Bond a: C has π orbitals and  O also has π  orbitals.

Explanation : The pi-bond at the 'a'position has carbon and oxygen atoms which undergoes pi-bond formation. And has pi orbitals of oxygen and carbon involved in the bonding process.

Answer 3) Bond b:  O SP^{3}  H has only S orbital involved in bonding.

Explanation : The bonding at 'b' position involves oxygen SP^{3} hydrogen atoms in it. It has SP^{3} hybridized orbitals and S orbital of hydrogen involved in the bonding.

Answer 4) Bond c:   C is SP^{3}  O is also SP^{3}

Explanation : The bonding involved at 'c' position has carbon and oxygen atoms involved in it. Both the atoms involves the orbitals of SP^{3} hybridized bonds.

Answer 5) Bond d:   C atom has SP^{3}  C atom has SP^{3}

Explanation : At the position of 'd' the bonding between two carbon atoms is found to be SP^{3}. Therefore, the orbitals that undergo SP^{3} hybridization are SP^{3}.

Answer 6) Bond e : C1 containing O SP^{2}    

C2 is SP^{3}

Explanation : The carbon atom which contains oxygen along with a double bond has SP^{2} hybridized orbitals involved in the bonding process; whereas the carbon at C2 has SP^{3} hybridized orbitals involved during the bonding. This is for the 'e' position.

melisa1 [442]
When magnesium is burned, it reacts with oxygen in air not with the fire. The fire is the energy needed for the reaction to happen. Magnesium reacts with oxygen forming magnesium oxide. The light emitted from the reaction is because the reaction produced a lot of heat.

Elements that have atoms with stable valence electron configurations in the ground state are found in
dsp73

Answer:

Group 18, also known as the Noble Gasses

Explanation:

Atoms strive for full stability by gaining or losing electrons to get 8 valence electrons in their valence shell, but Group 18 already has 8 electrons in their valence shell, and are therefore already stable in their ground state.
