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.
B will make little difference to reaction rate while C and D will reduce the reaction rate. So the answer is A. adding heat energy to the reactants
.
Answer:
The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is 
Explanation:
Wavelength of the photon emitted = 
Energy of the photon will corresponds to the energy difference between 2p and 2s orbital = E
Energy of the photon is given by Planck's equation:
h = Planck's constant = 
c = Speed of the light = 
The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is
