Answer:

b) sp^2

Explanation:

Hybridization refers to the concept that atomic orbitals fuse to form newly hybridized orbitals, which in turn, influences molecular geometry and bonding properties. In chemistry, orbital hybridisation (or hybridization) is the implies the mixing of atomic orbitals to form hybrid orbitals (with different energies, shapes, etc., different from that of the component atomic orbitals) suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds according to the principles of the valence bond theory.

In 1931 Linus Pauling proposed the idea of “mixing” the orbitals or “hybridizing” them to account for certain observed bonding patterns. Pauling proposed a sort of a combination of the orbitals giving you an orbital that has partial characters.

Hybridization is merely a mathematical construct. It is never an actual “process” that occurs within orbitals . Hybridization is a mathematical model that describes how the atomic orbitals would’ve looked like based on the observable molecular orbitals.

sp2 hybridization leads to the formation of a double bond. sigma bonds may also be formed depending on the valency of the central atom. In alkenes, an sp2 hybridized carbon atom forms a double bond in addition to two sigma bonds to other atoms.

B to C:-

  • The temperature remains constant from B to C in any time interval .
  • Looking at the graph there is BC || x axis.
  • Hence temperature remains unchanged.

E to D:-

  • Here also the temperature remains constant.
  • As we can see ED|| x axis

A bond formed between a fluorine, F, atom and a fluorine, F, atom is likely to be____
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

c) non polar Covalent

Explanation:

this is a molecule formed by atoms of the same element . they both have similar electronegativities and thus cancel out . This makes it a perfect Covalent molecule . The fact that it's a symmetrical molecule makes it non polar. a symmetrical molecule is a molecule formed by the overlap of orbitals of two atoms of the same element ( that is to say , there's no dipole )

Why do "super glue" adhesives bond to skin?
Kisachek [45]
It bonds to skin because
solid polymer requires the presence of water to get things started, be it in the air or on your skin. Without a little moisture, SuperGlue can't bond anything. This explains why the glue is so good at sticking fingers together.

Why slaked lime is used for white wash?​
sleet_krkn [62]

here \: is \: your \: answer

Solution used to white wash the walls is Quick lime(CaO) and when it is mixed with slaked lime [Ca(OH)2]. When this paste is used for white washing it combines with atmospheric CO2 to form calcium carbonate (CaCO3) which gives it a shiny texture.
