const2013 [10]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

sp

Explanation:

Hybridization is the combination of atomic orbitals to yield equivalent hybrid orbitals of appropriate energy which can participate in bonding.

In every compound there is a central atom. The central atom is usually the least electronegative atom in the molecule. In this case the least electronegative atom in the molecule is carbon.

The bond between carbon and oxygen in CO2 is intermittent between a pure double and a pure triple bond. Hence, carbon is sp hybridized.

The modern periodic table is arranged in order of increasing. true or false
qaws [65]

Answer:

Increasing atomic number - True

Explanation:

The modern table is based on Mendeleev’s table, except the modern table arranges the elements by increasing atomic number instead of atomic mass.

The Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, and this number is unique for each element. For example, Hydrogen has an atomic number of 1, Calcium has an atomic number of 20.

In the modern periodic table the elements are further arranged into:

- rows, called periods, in order of increasing atomic number. Elements in the same periods have the same number of shells.

- vertical columns, called groups, where the elements have similar properties. Elements in the same group has the same number of valency (outermost number of electrons)

Note the formula

\boxed{\sf Mass\:no=No\:of\:protons+No\:of\:neutrons}

For X:-

  • No of protons:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto 19-10=9protons

  • It is Fluorine.

For Y:-

  • No of protons:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto 16-8=8protons

  • It is Oxygen.

Boron has two naturally-ocurring isotopes. Boron-10 has an abundance of 19.8% and actual mass of 10.013 amu, and boron-11 has an
aniked [119]

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 10.812 amu

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})

Given that:

<u>For first isotope, Boron-10: </u>

% = 19.8 %

Mass = 10.013 amu

<u>For second isotope, Boron-11: </u>

% = 80.2 %

Mass = 11.009 amu

Thus,  

Average\ atomic\ mass=\frac{19.8}{100}\times {10.013}+\frac{80.2}{100}\times {11.009}=1.982574+8.829218=10.811792

<u>Average atomic mass = 10.812 amu</u>

What is absolute zero? A) The temperature at which the particles of matter are at their lowest energy points. B) The temperature
Alja [10]

Answer:

A) The temperature at which the particles of matter are at their lowest energy points.

Explanation:

Absolute temperature refers to the lowest  possible temperature. At this state,  no heat energy remains in the substance; the energy of the particles are at their lowest energy points.
