 <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>

The electron configuration that belongs to the atom with the lowest first ionization energy is?
sasho [114]

The electron configuration that belongs to the atom with the lowest first ionization energy is francium.

<h3>What is ionization energy? </h3>

Ionization energy is defined as the minimum amount of energy required to remove the most loosely electron present in outermost shell.

<h3>Ionization energy across period</h3>

Ionization energy increase as we move from left to right in the period. This can be explained as when we move from left to right along period new electron is added to the same shell which increase the nuclear charge. Hence results int he decrease in size. Due to this decrease in size more energy is required to remove electron from outermost shell.

<h3>Ionization energy along group</h3>

Ionization energy decrease as we move from top to bottom along group. This can be explained as we move from top to bottom new electron is added to new shell. Due to addition of new shell the size of atom increases which results in the decrease in the nuclear charge. Due to this less amount of energy is needed to remove an electron.

Thus, we concluded that the electron configuration that belongs to the atom with the lowest first ionization energy is francium.

Solute particles can be:____
Reptile [31]

Solute particles can be atoms, ions or molecules.

Explanation:

Solute is the material which has to be mixed in the solvent to prepare a solution. So the concentration of solute should be less than the solvent. Also the solute and solvent should be of same nature other they will not dissolve with each other. The solute can be made up of atoms, ions or molecules depending upon the solvent. If the solvent concentration is in moles, then the solute concentration can be taken as atoms, ions or molecules. Also the saturation point plays a main role in deciding the kind of particles taken for the solute.

What is the difference between Hydrolysis and Hydration?​
Grace [21]
Hydrolysis involves the reaction of water with another compound.Hydrolysis is the process in which the bond breaks due to addition of water whereas in hydration there is just addition of water, the molecule doesn’t break down.
