Answer:

Red phosphorus and white phosphorus are two the most common and important allotropes of phosphorus. Red phosphorus is thermally more stable than white phosphorus. It is a white waxy solid. ... It turns yellow in colour in exposure to light, hence, it is also called as yellow phosphorus.

What is the percentage of s-character in an sp hybrid? O 25% 50% o 75% O 66%

marishachu [46]

Answer: 50%

Explanation:

The number of electron pairs are 2 for hybridization to be $sp$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be linear.

1. percentage of s character in sp hybrid orbital = $\frac{\text {number of s orbitals}}{\text {total number of orbitals}}=\frac{1}{2}\times 100=50\%$

2. percentage of s character in $sp^2$ hybrid orbital = $\frac{\text {number of s orbitals}}{\text {total number of orbitals}}=\frac{1}{3}\times 100=33.3\%$

3. percentage of s character in $sp^3$ hybrid orbital = $\frac{\text {number of s orbitals}}{\text {total number of orbitals}}=\frac{1}{4}\times 100=25\%$

Thus percentage of s-character in an sp hybrid is 50%.

After mitosis, you have 2 cells that are the same as the parent cell. Why is it that your first cell was not the same as your pa

ladessa [460]

Answer:

During MITOSIS, the parent, diploid (2n), cell is divided to create two identical, diploid (2n), daughter cells. ... After cytokinesis, the ploidy of the daughter cells remains the same because each daughter cell contains 4 chromatids, as the parent cell did.

PIT_PIT [208]

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

Determine the pH of an HF solution of each of the following concentrations. In which cases can you not make the simplifying assumption that x is small? ( $K_a$ for HF is $6.8\times 10^{-4}$ .)
