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.

Over the course of two years the top layer of soil at a Michigan farm is blown away
Colt1911 [192]

For each of the situations below, state whether it describes erosion, weathering, or possibly both.

Answer:

Erosion

Explanation:

The blowing away of the top layer of the soil at a Michigan farm is best described as scenario that shows wind erosion.

Erosion is the removal of the top layer of the earth on which plant grows. In short is the washing away of soil by stream or blowing away by wind.

When soil is blow away, it is a pure case of erosion. The process of erosion usually follows weathering or sometime occurs together with it.

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

Often times, the process of weathering and erosion occurs together. It is loose weathering products that are carried away during erosion.

In the soil layer at Michigan, the process of erosion by wind is current taking place by ablation.

Why there are only 20 amino acids, although a amino acid is coded by a single codon with three bases. That means by permutation,
snow_lady [41]
In nature there are many more variations amino acids than the simple 20 found in humans. However, when analyzing the human genome sequence, there is a code for all 64 permutations (4^3), only some of them share amino acids. This is a safe-guard against mutations of one or two nucleotides. For example, the amino acid Alanine is coded with four different nucleotide sequences: GCA, GCC, GCG, GCU. Also some amino acids code the same like UUU &UUC
