Which statement describes an ionic bond?

Determine if each statement is True or False. [ Select ] Central atoms with four electron groups will be sp3 hybridized. [ Selec

meriva

Answer:

Central atoms with four electron groups will be sp3 hybridized. True

Hybrid orbitals are delocalized over the entire molecule. False

The number of hybrid orbitals is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that are blended together. True

Atoms with a single pi bond and an octet are sp2 hybridized. True

Sometimes oxygen atoms will be sp3d hybridized in organic molecules. False

All resonance structures must be considered when assigning hybridization. False

Explanation:

When a central atom has four electron groups attached to it, then it must be sp3 hybridized. This is the case in ammonia, water, hydrogen sulphide, methane etc.

Hybridization is a valence bond concept while delocalization is a molecular orbital theory concept. Hybridized orbitals are localized on central atoms in a molecule while delocalized orbitals spread across the entire molecule.

According to valence bond theory, the number of atomic orbitals that combined to give hybrid orbitals must be equal to the number of hybrid orbitals formed.

When an atom has a single pi bond and on octet of electrons, then it must be sp2 hybridized. Remember that in ethene for instance, carbon has one pi bond and an octet of electrons.

Oxygen has an empty n=3 level hence it can not have d-orbitals involved in hybridization.

The electron domain geometry of the molecule is considered when assigning hybridization and not the resonance structures. All the resonance structures must have the central atom in the same hybridization state.

G(1)=0 g(n) =g(n-1)+n g(2)=

Aliun [14]

G(2)=2

For this, you can plug in 2 everywhere you see an n. So the equation will read:
g(2)=g(2-1)+2 -> g(2)=g(1)+2. Since we are given g(1)=0, we can plug in 0 where we see g(1). The equation is now. g(2)=0+2. So, g(2)=2.

For each situation below, state whether water will move into the cell, move out of the cell, or stay the same.

Firdavs [7]

Water moves from an area of higher water potential (aka. "more water" in simple language) to an area of lower water potential (aka. "less water" in simple language).

For A, cells in carrots have water stored in their cytoplasm, where many soluble substances may be found (e.g. sodium ions). On the other hand, pure water has no other soluble substances other than the water molecules (I.e. H2O). Pure water will thus have a higher water potential as compared to the water in carrot cells, and so, water will move from pure water into the carrot cells via osmosis down a concentration gradient.

B. Corn syrup is water that has high concentrations of sugars, thus it is very likely to have a lower water potential than the cells of carrots. Water will move from within the cells of carrots and out to the corn syrup, down a concentration gradient.

C. The water in carrot cells will stay the same, since carrot cells have the same water potential as the surrounding solution which has the same water potential as cytoplasm.

Hope this helps! :)

The density of ethanol, a colorless liquid that is commonly known as grain alcohol, is 0.798 g/mL Calculate the mass of 205 mL o

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Mass of 205 mL of the liquid is 164 g

Explanation:

We know, $density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Here density of liquid is 0.798 g/mL and volume of liquid is 205 mL

So, mass of liquid = $density\times volume$

= $(0.798 g/mL)\times (205 mL)$

= 164 g

hence mass of 205 mL of the liquid is 164 g.

What can natural selection accomplish? prove Darwin's idea of "survival of the fittest" change relative number of inhabitants wi

oksian1 [2.3K]

Natural selection makes it so that an organism from a species has a better chance of surviving than an organism in the same species, but with different traits. Survival of the fittest proves that certain traits can help an organisms survive better than its peers. For example, say there was an allele that made bears have thicker fur than others. The year-round climate is extremely cold. The bears with thicker fur are more likely to survive due to the warmth their fur provides and will have more offspring. The bears with thinner fur will die more often and not produce healthy offspring due to the frigid temperature. Eventually, the allele for thin fur will die out because the bears with these alleles cannot survive in their habitat.
