Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Atomic number of carbon is 6 and its electronic distribution is 2, 4. Therefore, in order to become stable and completely fill its octet carbon readily share its valence electrons with another atom.
For example, 
A carbon atom is also able to form a double double with valence electrons of other atom.
Thus, we can conclude that a carbon atom has a strong tendency to share electrons.
Materials are transferred between individual cells and their internal environment through the cell membrane by diffusion, osmosis, and active transport. During diffusion and osmosis, molecules move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis: Osmosis is the movement of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane from a dilute solution into a concentrated solution. Diffusion: Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration. This would be the diffusion.
Answer:
[Ni(CN)4]2- square planar
[NiCl4]2- tetrahedral
Explanation:
For a four coordinate complex such as [Ni(CN)4]2- and [NiCl4]2-, we can decide its geometry by closely considering its magnetic properties. Both of the complexes are d8 complexes which could be found either in the tetrahedral or square planar crystal field depending on the nature of the ligand.
CN^- being a strong field ligand leads to the formation of a square planar diamagnetic d8 complex of Ni^2+. Similarly, Cl^- being a weak field ligand leads to the formation a a tetrahedral paramagnetic d8 complex of Ni^+ hence the answer given above.
The valence electron configuration for antimony (Sb) is:
Sb = 5s²5p³5d⁰
In SbCl₅²⁻, antimony has a -2 charge i.e. it has 2 additional electrons
Sb²⁻ = 5s²5p⁵5d⁰
Following a two electron transition from p→d orbital we have:
Sb²⁻ = 5s²5p³5d²
There is a total of 5 unpaired electrons (3 in the p and 2 in the d) which can form five bonds with the 5 Cl atoms.
Thus the hybridisation of Sb in SbCl₅²⁻ is sp³d²
Answer:
Valence electrons (the electrons on the outermost shell of the atom) are responsible for bonding
