LiRa [457]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Sp3

Explanation:

Hydrocarbon can be defined as an organic compound that comprises of hydrogen and carbon only. Some examples of hydrocarbon are methane, butane, ethane, ethene, etc.

Hybridization can be defined as a phenomenon which involves the combination of two or more atomic orbitals to form the same number of hybrid orbitals, with each of the orbitals having the same shape and energy.

In Organic chemistry, ethane is considered to be a tetrahedral carbon and it's Sp3 hybridized.

A tetrahedral carbon typically comprises of four bonds that are 109. 5° apart while a linear carbon atom comprises of two (2) bonds that are 180° apart.

Hence, the molecule of ethane posses a Sp3 hybridization because it has four bonds arrange with a tetrahedral geometry.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

^{32}_{15}P

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

However, when we talk about the atomic number of the ion, it is not equal to the number of electrons as electron can be gained or loosed.

This is why, more appropriately, the number of the protons which are present in the nucleus of the atom is called the atomic number.

Thus, atomic number of phosphorus = 15

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Given, Mass number = 32

Thus, the symbol of the isotope is:-

^{32}_{15}P
