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

In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased, what happens to the temperature if pressure remains constant?
Flura [38]

The correct answer is A. In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased and the pressure is constant, then the temperature decreases.

 <span>P1V1/ T1 = P2V2 / T2</span>

 <span>Assume the volume decrease by half; V2 = V1/2</span>

 <span>P1V1/ T1 = P2V1 /2 T2</span>

 <span>Cancelling terms,</span>

 <span>1/T1 = 1/2 T2</span>

T2 = T1/2

 <span>Thus, the temperature decreased.</span>

A salt is made by adding an excess of an insoluble metal oxide to an acid.
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Filtration

Explanation:

Filtration is used to separate solid substances from liquids or large molecules from small molecules. Since, Acid is a liquid and metal oxide is solid so Filtration can be used to separate these two.

What kind of electrical charges do protons,electrons, and neutrons have?​
Vinil7 [7]

<em><u>Protons</u></em><em><u> = Positive Charge</u></em>

<em><u>Neutrons</u></em><em><u> = Neutral Charge/No Charge</u></em>

<em><u>Electrons</u></em><em><u> = Negative Charge</u></em>

<em>This one's simple: electrons have a negative charge, protons have a positive charge and neutrons — as the name implies — are neutral.</em>

<u><em>Protons</em></u>

<em>Elements are differentiated from each other by the number of protons within their nucleus. For example, carbon atoms have six protons in their nucleus. Atoms with seven protons are nitrogen atoms. The number of protons for each element is known as the atomic number and does not change in chemical reactions. In other words, the elements at the beginning of a reaction -- known as the reactants -- are the same elements at the end of a reaction -- known as the products.</em>

<em />

<em><u>Neutrons</u></em>

<em>Although elements have a specific number of protons, atoms of the same element may have different numbers of neutrons and are termed isotopes. For example, hydrogen has three isotopes, each with a single proton. Protium is an isotope of hydrogen with zero neutrons, deuterium has one neutron, and tritium has two neutrons. Although the number of neutrons may differ between isotopes, the isotopes all behave in a chemically similar manner.</em>

<em />

<u><em>Electrons</em></u>

<em>Electrons are not bound as tightly to the atom as protons and neutrons. This allows electrons to be lost, gained or even shared between atoms. Atoms that lose an electron become ions with a +1 charge, since there is now one more proton than electrons. Atoms that gain an electron have one more electron than protons and become a -1 ion. Chemical bonds that hold atoms together to form compounds result from these changes in the number and arrangement of electrons.</em>

How many grams of Cl are in 525g of CaCl2
Tema [17]

First we determine the moles CaCl2 present:

525g / (110.9g/mole) = 4.73 moles CaCl2 present 

Based on stoichiometry, there are 2 moles of Cl for every mole of CaCl2:<span>
(2moles Cl / 1mole CaCl2) x 4.73 moles CaCl2 = 9.47 moles Cl </span>

Get the mass:<span>
<span>9.47moles Cl x 35.45g/mole = 335.64 g Cl</span></span>

For the following electron-transfer reaction:
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

Explanation:

Main reaction: 2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq)

In the oxidation half reaction, the oxidation number increases:

Mn changes from 0, in the ground state to Mn²⁺.

The reduction half reaction occurs where the element decrease the oxidation number, because it is gaining electrons.

Silver changes from Ag⁺ to Ag.

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

To balance the hole reaction, we need to multiply by 2, the second half reaction:

Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

(Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)) . 2

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s)  

Now we sum, and we can cancel the electrons:

2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻
