Hey there!
No of hybrid orbitals , H = ( V +S - C + A ) / 2
Where H = no . of hybrid orbitals
V = Valence of the central atom = 5
S = No . of single valency atoms = 4
C = No . of cations = 1
A = No . of anions = 0
For PCl4 +
Plug the values we get H = ( 5+4-1+0) / 2
H = 4 ---> sp3 hybridization
sp3 hybrid orbitals are used by phosphorous in the PCl4+ cations
Answer C
Hope that helps!
The formula is easy:
Gram formula mass
----------------------------
Emprical Formula
So if we plug in our own numbers,
114.0
--------
57.116
We get an answer of 1.99, which rounds to 2.
Then, we distribute based off of our empirical formula.
2(C4H9) becomes C8H18.
Our molecular formula is C8H18.
Hope I could help!
Answer:
What is the name of the compound (NH4) 3PO4? (NH)4+ is an ammonium radical and (PO4) 3- is a phospate radical. When we start writing the compound,the valency of phosphate goes to ammonium as subscript,and that of ammonium goes to phosphate. Hence the formula (NH4)3 PO4 and it's name is ammonium phospate.
