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.
Answer: The correct answer is: " endothermic . "

To the contrary, heat flows <u> </u><u>out </u> [heat <u> may </u><em> </em>exit from or <u> may be </u> released from] an "<u>exothermic</u>" reaction or process.
<u>Hint</u>: Think of the "prefixes" of: "<u>endo</u>thermic" and "<u>exo</u>thermic" :
_____________________________________
1) endo- = "within" (as in "endothermic" —heat tends to be absorbed/"within"/"released within"/released within"/into" ;
2) exo- = " outwards"/"exit" (as in "exothermic") —heat tends to '"exit"/leave/escape from/"be released out of/form".

Any element in group 18 has eight valence electrons (except for helium, which has a total of just two electrons). Examples include neon (Ne), argon (Ar), and krypton (Kr). Oxygen, like all the other elements in group 16, has six valence electrons.
Answer:The Geocentric and the Heliocentric models are descriptions of the universe known at the time when these models were developed. The main difference between the two models is the perceived center of the known universe. According to the geocentric model, Earth is the center of the known universe
Explanation:I answerd the question before in Earth Science
