The carbon atom has an electronic configuration of $1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(2)$. The $2s$ and the $2p$ orbitals participate in ; a tetrahedral $sp^3$ hybridization scheme is commonly invoked in order to describe the observed geometry.
Well, both magnesium and barium are $"alkaline earths...."$, the which give dications upon oxidation.... ...from Group 2 of . And given Group 2, there are TWO , which are readily...
The for phosphorus is $1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^3$. The are usually the outermost s and p electrons and in this case, there are 2 3s electrons and 3 3p...
This may seem a bit confusing when one looks at , since chlorine is the seventh element in its row, but iodine is the seventeenth. However, in the case of...
In terms of actual , there is literally only one example. You can consider that their oxidation states have never gotten higher than $+8$, except for Iridium: In terms...
Carbon atoms have four electrons in their outer shell. So, it exhibits tetravalency & thus, a single carbon atom can form a maximum of four (4) bonds with other atoms....
And the zinc cation is $Zn^(2+)$. When the ions form a salt, clearly they form an electrically neutral species; and thus the formulation of the salt is $Zn_3P_2$. Each phosphorus...
