Explanation:
Formula to calculate hybridization is as follows.
Hybridization =
where,
V = number of valence electrons present in central atom
N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom
C = charge of cation
A = charge of anion
So, hybridization of
is as follows.
Hybridization =
=
= 2
Hybridization of
is sp. Therefore,
is a linear molecule. There will be only two electron groups through which Be is attached.
Similarly, hybridization of
is calculated as follows.
Hybridization =
=
= 5
Therefore, hybridization of
is
is also a linear molecule. Though there are three lone pair of electrons present on a xenon atom and it is further attached with fluorine atoms through two electron pairs. Hence, there are in total five electron groups.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options
is the correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups.
Option A: Clouds
In the morning, air is cool and as sun begins to rise it starts increasing the temperature of air. By time, the air becomes warmer and warmer. Depending upon the surrounding conditions, air in different areas heat up at different rates.
Due to this heating, thermal formation takes place, this is due to uneven heating of surface of earth. The thermal formation at surface causes difference in temperature of surface of the earth and air around it. The warm air has tendency to rise thus, the air in the thermal rise and expand. Due to expansion it cools down, this process continues till the temperature of thermal air reaches equals to the temperature of surrounding air. This results in the formation of cloud.
Thus, when a humid air mass rises into a cooler temperature area, clouds formation takes place
Answer: Well!
Explanation: I was going to answer D but fverdell82156 got to it first! So I have to agree with him! It is D!
Answer:
(b). Mass and distance.
Explanation:
The gravitational force between two objects is given by Newton's law of universal gravitation. The formula is as follows :

Here,
G is universal gravitational constant
r is the distance between two objects
It is very clear that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Hence, the two quantities are used to predict gravitational force according to Newton's law of universal gravitation are mass and distance.
