Answer:

sp3 hybridization

Explanation:

Hybridization means the mixing of atomic orbitals to yield hybrid orbitals with characteristics that are different from that of the isolated atomic orbitals before the combination.

sp3 hybridization occurs when one s orbital is mixed with three p orbitals to yield four sp3 hybrid orbitals which can be used to bond to a central atom.

The central atom is then located at the center of a regular tetrahedron at a bond angle of 109°.

Answer:

decomposition reaction.

Explanation:

It is a decomposition reaction as potassium chlorate compound breaks to form potassium chloride and oxygen. This reaction requires heat as source of energy to break down the compound so it is endothermic in nature.

In a college of exactly 2760 students, exactly 65 % are male. What is the number of female students? Express your answer as an i

lina2011 [118]

Total number of students (male and female) in the college=2760. Total number of students including both male and female represents 100% (percentage) of students which is equal to 2760 number.

Number of male students is 65% (percentage) which is equal to $\frac{2760X65}{100}$ = 1794. So, total number of female students are (100-65)%=35% (percentage) which is equal to $\frac{2760X35}{100}$ =966 numbers.
