What are hybrid orbitals?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ann [662]3 years ago
3 0
Hybrid Orbitals: are used to describe the orbitals in covalently bonded atoms sp,sp2,sp3

You can find the hybridization by adding the number of bonded atoms and the number of lone pairs.

For example in BF3. The central atom (B) is bonded to three atoms. So the hybridization is sp2

In NH3, the central atom (N) is bonded to three atoms and has one lone pair. The hybridization is sp3

Boron has an atomic mass of 10.811. What does this mean?
icang [17]

Answer:

Knowing that boron has an atomic mass of 10,811 means that all boron isotopes on average weigh 10,811 u.

Explanation:

The atomic mass of an atom is the mass of the atom measured in u (unified atomic mass unit), although we can also express it as Da (Dalton's unit)

Atomic mass refers to the average mass that all isotopes of that element have.

When we speak of isotopes we are referring to the element itself but with a different number of neutrons, which makes it modify its mass number.

The ion with 36 electrons, 34 protons, and 44 neutrons
Reil [10]
While the number nuclear protons as given is 34, and therefore we deal with the element selenium, there are 2 more electrons than protons, and therefore this species has an overall
2
−
charge.
We represent this selenide ion as
S
e
2
−
. Do I win 5 pounds?

Z= 34, therefore the atom is selenium

Anabolic reactions _______ bonds, whereas catabolic reactions __________ bonds. A. decrease; increase. B. break; make C. weaken;
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The corrext answer is E. make; break

Explanation:

In living organisms, the metabolism is either anabolic or catabolic where anabolic metabolism is energy consuming and catabolic metabolism is eneegy releasesing. It should however be noted that anabolic reaction builds or biosynthesize new mollecular structures while catabolic reaction breaks down complex structure bonds into simple structures

The braking down of bonds in catabolic reations realeses energy to sustain the anabolic rection process for the formation of new bonds

Why do scientists use models to study atoms?
umka2103 [35]
Because atoms are the small and can't be seen by your eyes. It is so small that scientists need to use a model. A model help scientists study things. So, scientists needs to study atoms using models.
