Valence Bond theory predicts that tin will use what hybrid orbitals in Snf5 -1​

Chemistry
1 answer:
LUCKY_DIMON [66]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

sp3d

Explanation:

The ground state electronic configuration of tin is written as; [Kr] 5s²4d¹⁰5p². Hybridization is a concept used to explain the combination of orbitals of appropriate energy to produce suitable orbitals that could be used for bonding.

In forming the compound Snf5^ -1, we have to hybridize the following orbitals on tin; 5p, 5d and 6s orbitals. This gives us a set of sp3d hybrid  hence the answer.

What is the mass of oxygen that can be produced from 2.79 moles of lead(ll) nitrate
denis23 [38]

1.38 moles of oxygen

Explanation:

Thermal decomposition of Lead (II) nitrate is shown by the balanced equation below;

2Pb(NO₃)₂ → 2PbO + 4NO₂ + O₂

The mole ration of Lead (II) nitrate to oxygen is 2: 1

Therefore 2.76 moles of  Lead (II) nitrate will lead to production of? moles of oxygen;

2: 1

2.76: x

Cross-multiply;

2x = 2.76 * 1

x = 2.76 / 2

x = 1.38

Answer:

2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons

Explanation:

An atom of a certain element reacts with the atoms of other elements in order to fullfill its outermost shell (called valence shell).

We notice the following:

- The elements in Group 1 (which are metals) have only 1 electron in their valence shell

- The elements in Group 17 (which are non-metals) have 1 vacancy (lack of electron) in their valence shell

This means that in order for both an atom of group 1 and an atom of group 17 to fullfill the valence shell, they have to:

- The atom in group 1 has to give away its only electron of the valence shell

- The atom in group 17 has to gain one electron in order to fullfill the shell

Therefore, the correct option is

2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons

If the exact outer limit of an isolated atom cannot be measured, what criterion can we use to determine atomic radii? What is th
Alik [6]

Answer:

Calculate the atomic radii of two touching or overlapping atoms.

Explanation:

No doubt, we can't find the atomic boundary of a single atom, but when atoms are in the form of pairs it becomes very easy to measure the atomic radii of two and then dividing it by 2 to get an estimate of atomic radius of a single atom.

It is also called as covalent radius which is half of the total inter-nuclear distance between two same bonded atoms (Homo-nuclear).

If two adjacent mettalic ions are joined by such pairing then the same half of the distance between the nucleus is termed as metallic radii.
