Answer:
sp³d¹ hybridization
Explanation:
Given Cl as central element with three F substrates ...
The VSEPR structure indicates 5 hybrid orbitals that contain 2 diamagnetic orbitals (non-bonded e⁻-pairs) and 3 paramagnetic orbitals (single, non-paired electron for covalent bonding with fluorine) giving a trigonal bypyrimidal parent with a T-shaped geometry.
Valence bond theory predicts the following during bonding:
Cl:[Ne]3s²3p²p²p¹3d⁰
=> [Ne]3s²p²p¹p¹d¹
=> [Ne]3(sp³d)²(sp³d)²(sp³d)¹(sp³d)¹(sp³d)¹
giving 3 ( [Cl](sp³d) - [F]2p¹ ) sigma bonds and 2 non-bonded pairs on Cl.
Note the following images:
Non-bonded electron pairs are in plane of parent geometry and Fluorides covalently bonded to central element Chloride forming the T-shaped geometry.
Answer:
All of the given statements are true.
Explanation:
All the elements are heavier than Bismuth (Bi) are radioactive.
The time for half of the original sample to spontaneous decay is called half life ()
All radioactive elements are spontaneously decaying towards formation of a stable element.
Radioactive elements undergo decay in order to attain stability.
Radioactivity is a natural part of our environment. The earth also contains several primordial long-lived radioisotopes that have survived to the present in significant amounts.
Hence, all the given statements are true.
