Acetaldehyde is an organic compound (a compound containing C atoms) composed of a carbonyl group. On the other hand, a carbonyl group is a functional group containing C = O. The hybrid orbitals of a compound determines the number pi and s orbitals in the electronic configuration. For a single bond, there are two s orbitals. For double bonds, on the other hand, the number of s orbital bond is 1 while the number of pi bonds is 2. For triple bonds, there are three pi bonds present in the cloud.

Thus for a c = O bond, the atomic orbital configuration is sp3 containing 1 s orbital and 2 pi bonds.

Answer:

In terms of central atom carbon:

three sp2 hybridized orbitals

one "2p" orbital.

one sp2 hybridized orbital and one "2p" orbital bonds with oxygen atom.

Explanation:

In acetaldehyde we have two carbons.

One carbon is simple alkyl carbon

The other carbon is carbonyl carbon

The carbonyl carbon is bonded to the alkyl carbon and hydrogen by sigma bonds (one with each) and to the oxygen atom by one sigma and one pi bond.Which means that there are three sigma bonds and one pi bond.

The hybridisation of carbonyl carbon is sp2.

The atomic orbitals involved are:

three "2p" orbitals

one "2s" orbital

Out of the three "2p" orbitals : two are involved in hybridization.

The third one is showing side ways overlapping with the "2p" orbital of oxygen atom.

Convert 565,900 seconds into days
Andreas93 [3]

There are 60 seconds in one minute

565900 / 60 = 9431.667 minutes in 565,900 seconds

There are 60 minutes in an hour

9431.667 minutes / 60 = 157.9144 hours in 565900 seconds

There are 24 hours in 1 day

157.9144 hours / 24 hours = 6.5498 days.

A gamma ray photon has an energy of 4.75 x 10-14 joules. What is the frequency of this radiation?
Rama09 [41]

The frequency of the radiation is equal to 7.17  \times 10^{19} Hertz.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Photon energy = 4.75 \times 10^{-14} Joules

To find the frequency of this radiation, we would use the Planck-Einstein equation.

Mathematically, the Planck-Einstein relation is given by the formula:

E = hf

<u>Where:</u>

  • h is Planck constant.
  • f is photon frequency.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

4.75 \times 10^{-14} = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times F\\\\F = \frac{4.75 \times 10^{-14}}{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}

Frequency, F = 7.17  \times 10^{19} Hertz
