Yes, it can happen.
If all the lower energy orbits are already filled with electrons, then it cannot happen since the lower orbitals will already be full, hence another electron will have to move.
However, if the lower energy orbits are not full (for instance if one excited electron goes back to its normal state), then it can happen.
Answer: The four
hybridized orbitals on Sb makes up the sigma bonds between Sb and F in antimony(iii) fluoride ,
Explanation:
According to VESPR theory:
Number of electrons around the central atom : ![\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5BV%2BN-C%2BA%5D)
V = number of valence electrons
N = number of neighboring atoms
C = charge on cation
A = charge on an anion
In antimony(III) fluoride ,
Antimony being central atom: V= 5,N =3,C=0,A=0
Number of electrons : ![\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]=4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5BV%2BN-C%2BA%5D%3D4)
Number of electrons around the central atom are 4 which means that
molecule has four
hybridized orbitals.
I think your answer choices are...
A. an educated guess
B. a statement of pure fact
C. a general principle based on an observable fact
D. a collection of data
Answer:
C. A general principle based on an observable fact
Explanation:
It can't be A as an educated guess is in scientific terms , a hypothesis.
It can't be B as that is a fact or a law
It can't be D as a collection of data is a data table.
