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 specific heat of a substance if a mass of 10.0 kg increases in temperature from 10.0°C to 70.0°C when 2,520 J of hea
SCORPION-xisa [38]
Heat energy can be calculated by using the specific heat of a substance multiplying it to the mass of the sample and the change in temperature. It is expressed as: 
Energy = mCΔT2520= 10.0(C) (70.0 - 10.0)C = 4.2 J/ kg K
