How many orbitals are in a set of Sp2 hybrid orbitals?

This is a question of Polygenic inheritance. When all the alleles are recessive, we get minimum weight condition and when all the alleles are dominant, we get maximum weight condition....

$C(6)=1s^2 2s^2 2p_x^1 2p_y^1 2p_z^0$ $C^*(6)=1s^2 2s^1 2p_x^1 2p_y^1 2p_z^1$ now the 4 hybrid orbitals make 4$sigma$ bonds with 4 hydrogen s orbitals and make $CH_4$

The pattern you speak of that tells us the number of orbitals of each type results from solving of Schroedinger's equation. In the course of solving this equation, one generates...

This is one of Hund's Rules for identifying the ground state . Specifically, when we have several orbitals with the same energy and total angular momentum, and only enough electrons...

Number of subshells in $"n"^"th"$ shell $"= n"$ So, there are $3$ subshells ($"s, p, d"$) in $"3"^"rd"$ shell. Number of orbitals in $"n"^"th"$ shell $"=...

And so we get $p_x$, $p_y$, and $p_z$..the which could accommodate 6 electrons....

Four, the carbon atom uses its 4 sp3 hybridized orbitals to use for with 4 Chlorine atoms.

The answer is D) $sp^3d^2$. According to , a square planar corresponds to an $AX_4E_2$ molecule. In this type of molecule, the central atom has 2 lone pairs of...

The hybridization is found from the electron-pairs arrangement around the carbon atom. For example, In $CH_4$ the electron-pairs arrangement is Tetrahedral , therefore, the hybridization is $color(red)(sp^3)$. In $H_2CO$...

An sp2 hybridization is when an atom (say, carbon in $C_2H_4$) has 3 sigma bonds, since don't hybridize. Carbon's sigma bonds are the two C-H bonds and the 1 C-C...
