<span>The notion of hybrid orbitals was "invented" by Linus Pauling in 1931 to explain the observed geometry of mostly organic molecules. Today, we find that hybrid orbitals are pretty much confined to the central atoms found in the second period of the periodic table. Periods 3 and up .... not so much.

(a) H2O ..... O is the central atom, tetrahedral, sp3 hybridization
(b) PBr5 .... P is the central atom, maybe sp2 for the three equatorial bonds *
(c) COCl2.. C is the central atom, trigonal planar, sp2 hybridization </span>

Fractional distillation is used for the refining of crude petroleum.

<h3>How are the components of crude petroleum separated out?</h3>

Fractional distillation is the procedure used to separate crude oil's numerous constituents.

A mixture is divided into several components, known as fractions, using fractional distillation.
A combination of hydrocarbons makes up crude oil. The crude oil evaporates, and in the fractionating column, its vapors condense at various temperatures.
The hydrocarbon molecules in each percent have a comparable number of carbon atoms and a comparable range of boiling points.
The mixture is placed above a tall fractionating column that has multiple condensers coming off at various heights.
The bottom of the column is warm, while the top is cool. High boiling point compounds condense at the bottom, whereas low boiling point substances condense as they ascend.

That statement is true

it was easy to organize 'all' the elements in a group of threes because back then they only knew about 15 - 20 elements

If the bag was made from a metal (like sturdy aluminum foil), do you think it would lose its heat faster or slower than the plas

Luden [163]

I think it would lose its heat faster than the plastic bags because of higher conductivity feature.

<h3>What is conduction?</h3>

Conduction is the process in which heat or electricity is transmitted or transferred through the material of a substance without movement of the material.

We know that metals are good conductors so we can conclude that it would lose its heat faster than the plastic bags bof higher conductivity feature.
