Answer:
a. the maximum number of σ bonds that the atom can form is 4
b. the maximum number of p-p bonds that the atom can form is 2
Explanation:
Hybridization is the mixing of at least two nonequivalent orbitals, in this case, we have the mixing of one <em>s, 3 p </em> and <em> 2 d </em> orbitals. In hybridization the number of hybrid orbitals generated is equal to the number of pure atomic orbital, so we have 6 hybrid orbital.
The shape of this hybrid orbital is octahedral (look the attached image) , it has 4 orbital located in the plane and 2 orbital perpendicular to it.
This shape allows the formation of maximum 4 σ bond, because σ bonds are formed by orbitals overlapping end to end.
And maximum 2 p-p bonds, because p-p bonds are formed by sideways overlapping orbitals. The atom can form one with each one of the orbitals located perpendicular to the plane.
Answer:
D) empirical formula is: C₃P₂O₈
Explanation:
Given:
Mass % Calcium (Ca) = 38.7%
Mass % Phosphorus (P) = 19.9%
Mass % oxygen (O) = 41.2 %
This implies that for a 100 g sample of the unknown compound:
Mass Ca = 38.7 g
Mass P = 19.9 g
Mass O = 41.2 g
Step 1: Calculate the moles of Ca, P, O
Atomic mass Ca = 40.08 g/mol
Atomic mass P = 30.97 g/mol
Atomic mass O = 16.00 g/mol
Step 2: Calculate the molar ratio
Step 3: Calculate the closest whole number ratio
C: P: O = 1.50 : 1.00 : 4.00
C : P : O = 3:2:8
Therefore, the empirical formula is: C₃P₂O₈
