Answer 1) To find the hybridization of carbon we need to draw the lewis structure first; which is attached in the answer.

So the formula for finding hybridization is 
Lone pairs + Bonding pairs = hybridisation.

Here, in the molecule of methionine Carbon is bonded to all 4 atoms and has got no lone pairs so we will have;

0 + 4 = 4 which means it is sp^{3} hybridized.

Answer 2) For oxygen we can see in the lewis structure that it is having 2 lone pairs and double bonded with carbon atom, also there is another oxygen atom with two lone pair but bonded with carbon and hydrogen at the end.

So, in both the cases we can calculate;

where 2 lone pairs are present  
2 + 2 = 4 so, it will be sp^{3} hybridized.

So, Oxygen is also sp^{3} hybridized.

Answer 3) Nitrogen present in the methionine is bonded to carbon atom and hydrogen atoms and has only one lone pair on it.

So when we are substituting this in the formula we get 1 + 3 = 4;

which means 1 lone pair and 3 bond pairs so, it is also sp^{3} hybridized.

Answer 4) Sulfur atom in methionine is bonded to two carbon atoms forming a linear structure with 2 lone pairs on it.

So, it has 2 lone pairs and 2 bond pairs,

hence the hybridization will be  sp^{3} hybridized. 

As, 2 + 2 = 4 which means it is  sp^{3} hybridized.

is it possible for two different compounds to be made from the exact same two elements? why or why not? with a limited number of
kogti [31]

Yes. The two elements can combine to form different compounds.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Two elements can combine at different ratios.

Consider CO and CO₂. Both are made from carbon and oxygen. However, C and O combine at a 1:1 ratio in CO but at a 1:2 ratio in CO₂. CO is a fuel; it burns in the air. CO₂ does not burn in the air; it is used to put out fires and is found in extinguishers. CO and CO₂ are two distinct compounds.

There are many ways for the elements to combine with each other. As a result, the first twenty elements on the periodic table alone can produce a large number of compounds.
