Hey there!

No of hybrid orbitals , H = ( V +S - C + A ) / 2

Where H = no . of hybrid orbitals

V = Valence of the central atom = 5

S = No . of single valency atoms = 4

C = No . of cations = 1

A = No . of anions = 0

For PCl4 +

Plug the values we get H = ( 5+4-1+0) / 2

H =  4 ---> sp3 hybridization

sp3 hybrid orbitals are used by phosphorous in the PCl4+ cations

Answer C

Hope that helps!

Dr. Patel and her team have been using GPS to track two plates that are moving toward each
Andru [333]

C: One plate is going underneath the other plate and sinking into the soft rock below.

Explanation:

Where plates are moving towards each other they are said to converging, and are called convergent margins.

The lithosphere is broken into series of slabs called plates. The plates moves on the weak and relatively soft asthenosphere below.

Plates have different motion. At some places, they move apart and they are said to be divergent.

When plates moves towards each other, they are convergent. At a convergent margin, a plate collides with another thereby causing the denser plate usually the oceanic plate to subduct into the asthenosphere. In some other cases, the plates can collide and build upward.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

An object's velocity can be described by it's direction. Because velocity is a vector. Besides velocity and acceleration are different units they can't be described by each other.
