The answer is theory because it says if and that means theory
Answer:
Using valence bond theory, HgCl2 is sp hybridized while PCl3 is sp3 hybridized.
Explanation:
sp hybridized molecules are largely covalent and cannot conduct electricity hence the nonconducting nature of HgCl2. PCl3 contains a lone pair and three unpaired electrons in sp3 hybridized orbitals.
Agents that antagonize the effects of acetylcholine are called anticholinergic.
<span>Anticholinergic blocks this neurotransmitter acetylcholine within the nervous system, by deactivating nerve impulses as a result of the binding of this neurotransmitter so that it cannot reach its receptor in nerve cells.</span>
2Al + 3CuCl2 ➡ 2AlCl3 + 3Cu.
Moles of Al = 1.2/27 = 0.045 moles
2 moles of Al reacts with 3 moles of CuCl2.
Therefore, 1 mole of CuCl2 reacts with =2/3 x moles of Al
= 2/3 x 0.045
= 0.03 moles.
Question: <em>What is the hybridization of each carbon and oxygen atoms in vitamin C?</em>
Answer:
1. To decide the hybridization of a carbon, look at how many atoms are attached to it (including the hydrogens that may be unwritten). If there are 4 total atoms attached (all with single bonds), the carbon must have sp3 orbitals (there are 4 of them). If 3, then sp2. If 2, then sp. Carbon can't be sp3d or sp3d2 hybridized because carbon is in the 2nd period of the periodic table and doesn't possess any d orbitals to hybridize.
2. Not sure what this question means. Did you mean to type just C-C bonds? If so, just count the number of bonds between 2 carbon atoms!
3. Use VSEPR. The bond angle is as great as possible, based on the repulsion of the valence electron pairs (both bonded and lone). This is also related to hybridization. sp3 hybrid orbitals are 109.5 degress apart, sp2 is 120, sp is 180.
4. See part 1. Determine the hybridization of both C4 and C5. The overlap of an orbital from each carbon is what forms the sigma bond.
