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°.

Calculate the ratio of naf to hf required to create a buffer with ph = 4.05.

NARA [144]

PH is the test of acidity or basicity of a solution. it follows the formula:
pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid] where NaF is the salt and HF is the acid in this case.

By literature, Ka of HF is 3.5*10^-4
pKa= -log(Ka)= 3.46 

pH = pKa + log [NaF / [HF] 

4.05 = 3.46 + log [NaF / [HF]

log [NaF / [HF] = 0.59

[NaF / [HF] = 3.89

Answer:

D: Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon is the sixth element with a total of 6 electrons in the periodic table. Hence the atomic number Z = 6. The ground state electron configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s2 2p2. An excited state electron configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s1 2p3.
