What is the hybridization of the central atom in CO2? Hybridization = What are the approximate bond angles in this substance? Bo

nd angles = fill in the blank 2
Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

What occurs in order to break the bond in a Cl2 molecule?
alukav5142 [94]
The bond between the 2 Cl atoms in a Cl₂ molecule is a covalent bond. 
to break this covalent bond, energy is required. 
when new bonds form, energy is released as the bond formation makes the molecule stable. molecules with low energy levels are usually stable. 
To break the covalent bond, energy is required in other words energy is absorbed. 
therefore to break the covalent bond in Cl₂ molecule 
1)energy is absorbed
