Since the hybridization of the central atom is usually the only factor needed to determine molecular shape, you can simplify by considering only the hybridization of the central atom. Using this simplified method, the OO atom of CO2CO2 would bond with one of its p or s orbitals. Use valence bond theory to devise a hybridization and bonding scheme for CO2CO2.

The table compares the number of electrons in two unknown neutral atoms. comparison of electrons atom number of electrons a 10 d 11 use this information to determine the number of valence electrons in the atoms. which of the following correctly compares the stability of the two atoms? both are unreactive. both are highly reactive. a is unreactive and d is reactive. a is reactive and d is unreactive.

Why are pipes bursting in the in extremely cold weather?

Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide during one of the key steps in sulfuric acid synthesis. an industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 25.0l tank with 4.5 mol of sulfur dioxide gas and 4.5 mol of oxygen gas at 30.°c. he then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the amount of sulfur trioxide gas to be 1.4 mol. calculate the concentration equilibrium constant for the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen at the final temperature of the mixture. round your answer to 2 significant digits.
