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.

Use the periodic table to choose the element that matches each description.
nika2105 [10]

Using the periodic table to choose the element that matches each description include the following below:

  • Halogen: iodine
  • Group IIA: magnesium
  • Nonreactive: argon
  • Alkali metal: potassium.

<h3>What is a Periodic table?</h3>

This contains elements which are arranged according to the order of their atomic number in a tabular form. There are 18 groups which are the vertical columns present while there are 8 periods which are the horizontal rows present in the periodic table.

Example of an alkali metal is potassium while the non reactive ones include argon, neon etc. Examples of halogens include chlorine, iodine etc. are the ones which have seven electrons in their outer electron shells thereby just requiring one electron to achieve to obtain a stable octet configuration.

These are therefore the elements which match the descriptions provided in this case and is the most appropriate choice.

What happens to metal when rapidly heated then cooled
Anna [14]

Answer:

It is called tempering. Its tensile strength may reduce but it will become more rigid and hard to break compared to the original metal.
