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!
Synthesis reaction is a reaction where two or
more substances combine to form a new compound. <span>It
is a reaction which releases energy in the form of heat and light. Therefore,
it is an exothermic reaction. </span>From its the definition the correct answer is the third option where carbon dioxide and water combine to form carbonic acid.
The compound crystallizes in the aluminium trifluoride motif. Each fluoride is a doubly bridging ligand. The cobalt centers are octahedral.
CoF3 decomposes upon contact with water to give oxygen:
4 CoF3 + 2 H2O → 4 HF + 4 CoF2 + O2
It reacts with fluoride salts to give the anion [CoF6]3−, which is also features high-spin, octahedral cobalt(III) center.
Answer: B
Explanation: The clouds act almost like a lid. Think of it like when you put tin foil over food before it goes in the oven. so that even after it is removed from the heat the tin foil traps it causing it to stay warm.
