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.
Well the formula for the volume of a cube is
V=length×width×height
so input it
V=25×5×15
V=1875 cubic meters
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms to decay to a stable state.

0 because you would be floating at the top within seconds and also have fun with the sudden stop
Answer : The correct answer is, (c) the number of neutrons
Explanation :
Isotope : It is defined as the element that have the same number of protons but have the different number of neutrons of each of the atom.
Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons
Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number
For example : For Carbon - 13 isotope.
Mass number = 13
Atomic number = 6
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number
Number of neutrons = 13 - 6 = 7
Hence, the difference between the mass number of an isotope and its atomic number is the number of neutrons.
