The answer is true, catalysts increase rates by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. Catalysts lower the reaction energy and so the reaction occurs faster. Enzymes perform the role of biological catalysts. Most metabolic pathways of the body are controlled by enzymes. Enzymes by classification are proteins. <span />
Answer: up to 4 other atoms.
Explanation:
- <em>Hybridization sp</em>³ means that the atom has 4 equal orbitals formed by the combination of 1 s and 3 p orbitals.
- Each of these sp³ orbitals is a place for a chemical bonding.
- Hence, since each orbital is able to bind a different atom, you conclude that <em>a central atom that is sp³ hydridized could bind up to 4 other atoms.</em>
This is precisely the case for carbon (C) atoms.
Carbon has atomic number 6. So its electron configuration is 1s² 2s²p².
The four electrons in the level 2, those shown in 2s² 2p², are in two different orbitals: two are in the orbital 2s and two are in the orbitals 2p.
This diagram shows how those 4 electrons fill the orbitals
The two 2s electrons have lower energy level than the 2px and 2 py electrons, but the difference is not too big.That is why one of the electrons in the 2s ortital can be promoted to the empty 2pz orbital, and you get 4 equal hydridized ortibals, so called sp³.
And that is why, carbon (C) ends up with 4 equal (hydridized) orbitals which can bind up to 4 different atoms, including other carbon atoms, and so, form long chains and, virtually, infinite compounds.
