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.

What is the wavelength (in nm) of the least energetic spectral line in the visible series of the H atom?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Brackett Series (n = 4)

Explanation:

The least energetic line of Hydrogen atom lies in <em>Brackett Series </em>when n = 4 because these are least energetic, have longer wavelengths and lies in Infrared region of spectrum.  No traces of <em>Pfund series </em>are formed by H=atoms.
