In the allene (H2C=C=CH2) molecule:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Option c

Explanation:

In the allene, CH_2=C=CH_2

Central atom forms two sigma bond and two pi bond.

Hybridization of central atom = sp

Hybridization of two terminal C = sp^2

Allene is a nonplanar molecules. This is because of the planes of two CH_2 groups which are twisted 90 ° to each other.

Therefore, the two H atoms on one C lie above and below the plane defined by the other CH_2 group.

Consider the SCl2 molecule. (a) What is the electron config- uration of an isolated S atom? (b) What is the electron con- figura
iragen [17]

Answer:

(a) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴

(b) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵

(c) sp³

(d) No valence orbital remains unhybridized.

Explanation:

<em>Consider the SCl₂ molecule. </em>

<em>(a) What is the electron configuration of an isolated S atom? </em>

S has 16 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴.

<em>(b) What is the electron configuration of an isolated Cl atom? </em>

Cl has 17 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.

<em>(c) What hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the S atom to make the S-Cl bonds in SCl₂? </em>

SCl₂ has a tetrahedral electronic geometry. Therefore, the orbital 3s hybridizes with the 3 orbitals 3 p to form 4 hybrid orbital sp³.

<em>(d) What valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the S atom in SCl₂?</em>

No valence orbital remains unhybridized.

When parallel light rays exit a concave lens,the light ray is?
ad-work [718]
When parallel rays exit a concave lens, the light rays are divergent.
The rays diverge or bend away from the axis it has been traveling upon entering the lens when it reaches the other side of the lens. These rays appear to have come from the same focal point before entering the concave lens. When these parallel rays are extended, it will be traced back to a single point of origin.
