Answer: The capillary action of water can be defined as the property of water by which it travels through the tube in upward direction which is opposite the gravity.

Explanation: This property of water is due to adhesion, cohesion and surface tension of water which allows it to climb through the tube. This property allows the plants to uptake water from the soil.

The water also moves against the gravity in the body of plants and animals with the help of capillary action.

Answer:

Look Below

Explanation:

Capillary action is adhesion of water. In plants, capillary action allows water to move from the roots to leaves. In animals, capillary action plays a role in respiration where oxygen-poor blood oxygenates in the capillaries.

If an atom has sp3d2 hybridization in a molecule:
never [62]

Answer:

a. the maximum number of σ bonds that the atom can form is 4

b. the maximum number of p-p bonds that the atom can form is 2

Explanation:

Hybridization is the mixing of at least two nonequivalent orbitals, in this case, we have the mixing of one <em>s, 3 p </em> and <em> 2 d </em> orbitals. In hybridization the number of hybrid orbitals generated  is equal to the number of pure atomic orbital, so we have 6 hybrid orbital.

The shape of this hybrid orbital is octahedral (look the attached image) , it has 4 orbital located in the plane and 2 orbital perpendicular to it.

This shape allows the formation of maximum 4 σ bond, because σ bonds are formed by orbitals overlapping end to end.

And maximum 2 p-p bonds, because p-p bonds are formed by sideways overlapping orbitals. The atom can form one with each one of the orbitals located perpendicular to the plane.
