It's sp3d according to the lewis dot structure (four bonds, one lone pair).
I believe the answer to your question is none of the above
Answer:
Explanation By looking at past concentrations of greenhouse gasses in layers in ice cores, scientists can calculate how modern amounts of carbon dioxide and methane compare to those of the past, and, essentially, compare past concentrations of greenhouse gasses to temperature. Ice coring has been around since the 1950s.n:
Answer:
1.
2.
3.The electron affinity of
is zero.
4.
Explanation:
1.
<u>Electron affinity:</u>
It is defined as the amount of energy change when an electron is added to atom in the gaseous phase.
The electron affinity of
is as follows.

2.
<u>Ionization energy</u>:
Amount of energy required to removal of an electron from an isolated gaseous atom.
The third ionization energy of Titanium is as follows.

3.
The electronic configuration of Mg: 
By the removal of two electrons from a magnesium element we get
ion.
has inert gas configuration i.e,
Hence, it does not require more electrons to get stability.
Therefore,the electron affinity of
is zero.
4.
The ionization energy of
is follows.

The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.
For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.
You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.
You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.
So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.
