In methane the central C atom is bonded to 4 H atoms forming 4 covalent bonds and adopts a tetrahedral geometry.

The valence electron configuration of C = 2s²2p²

H = 1s¹

In methane, one electron from the 2s orbital of C gets promoted to the 2p orbital creating 4 unpaired electrons. This mixing of the 2s-2p creates 4 sp3 hybrid orbitals each of which then bonds to the 1s orbital of H. Thus, in CH3, the C atom is sp3 hybridized.

This pattern of hybridization is also exhibited by CF2Cl2 in which the central C atom is spe3 hybridized and forms 4 covalent bonds: 2 C-F and 2 C-Cl

Ans: D) CF2Cl2

Which of the following describes the electron sharing between hydrogen and fluorine?
EastWind [94]
Hello
We know both the elements involved in bonding are non-metals and the primary type of bonds involved in non-metals are covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share one or more electrons; thus we know that whatever the number of electrons shared, it has to be equal for both. We can eliminate choices A and B.
Next, we understand that it is easier for one atom to be shared among the two, rather than the 7. First, because Hydrogen needs only 1 electron to be stable and would require energy to compensate the remaining 6. Second, electrons are attracted towards the nucleus so it is inefficient to try and share 7 electrons when 1 provides the same amount of stability to Fluorine.
Therefore, the answer is C.

Which best describes the relationships between subatomic particles in any neutral atom? * 1 point the number of electrons equals
Anna71 [15]

Atomic number = protons

Protons = P  Electrons = E     P = E

Atomic mass = Neutrons + Protons

Atomic number = atomic mass = neutrons

P = E

AM - AN = N

Example:

Calcium = 20 Protons  20P = 20E

Atomic mass - atomic number = neutrons :)

How many milliliters of a 0.40%(w/v) solution of nalorphine must be injected to obtain a dose of 1.5 mg?
ozzi
The number  of Ml  of  a  0.40 %w/v solution  of   ,nalorphine  that must  be injected  to  obtain  a  dose  of 1.5 mg is  calculated as  below


since M/v%   is  mass  of solute  in  grams per 100  ml

convert Mg to  g
1 g = 1000 mg  what  about  1.5 mg =?  grams
=   1.5 /1000 = 0.0015 grams


volume is therefore =  100 (  mass/ M/v%)

= 100  x(  0.0015/ 0.4) =  0.375  ML

Does the reaction of a main-group metal oxide in water produce an acidic solution or a basic solution? Write a balanced equation
Fynjy0 [20]

<u>Answer:</u> The main group metal produce a basic solution in water and the reaction is MO+H_2O\rightarrow M(OH)_2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Main group elements are the elements that are present in s-block and p-block.

The metals that are the main group elements are located in Group IA, Group II A and Group III A.

Oxides are formed when a metal or a non-metal reacts with oxygen molecule. There are two types of oxides which are formed: Acidic oxides and basic oxides.

  • Acidic oxides are formed by the non-metals.
  • Basic oxides are formed by the metals.

When a metal oxide is reacted with water, it leads to the formation of a base.

The general formula of the oxide formed by Group II-A metals is 'MO'

The chemical equation for the reaction of metal oxide of Group II-A and water follows:

MO+H_2O\rightarrow M(OH)_2

Hence, the main group metal produce a basic solution in water and the reaction is MO+H_2O\rightarrow M(OH)_2
