Explain what is meant by Sp3 hybridization?

Sp3 hybridization is a type of atomic orbital hybridization in which an s orbital and three p orbitals combine to form four hybrid orbitals with equivalent energy levels. These hybrid orbitals have a tetrahedral arrangement around the central atom and are commonly found in molecules with four sigma bonds.


What is sp3d2?

"sp3d2" refers to the hybridization of atomic orbitals in a molecule where 1 s orbital, 3 p orbitals, and 2 d orbitals combine to form a set of 6 equivalent hybrid orbitals. This hybridization is commonly found in octahedral molecules where the central atom is surrounded by six electron pairs.


Is diamond found in the periodic table of elements?

NOT as 'diamond'. However, diamond is an allotrope of carbon . Carbon is found in the periodic table. as 'C'. NB Diamond, Graphite and Buckminster Fullerene (Footballene) are three allotrop[es of of Carbom . NOT isotopes. An Allotrope is an element that exists in different physical form.


What three basic forms is carbon found in?

Carbon is found in three basic forms: diamond, graphite, and amorphous carbon. Diamond consists of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice, graphite is composed of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern, and amorphous carbon lacks a defined crystal structure.


What mineral leaves a streak on paper?

Graphite leaves a streak on paper, as it is the material commonly found in pencils. The black mark left on paper is due to the graphite particles rubbing off onto the surface.

What are orbitals with the same energy are said to be?

Orbitals with the same energy are said to be degenerate. This means they have the same potential energy and are available for electrons to occupy. Degenerate orbitals can be found in multi-electron atoms and molecules.


What elements have more than one form?

Carbon, sulfur, and phosphorus are examples of elements that exist in more than one form. For example, carbon can be found as diamond or graphite, sulfur can be found as rhombic or monoclinic, and phosphorus can be found as white or red.


What is found in diamond and graphite?

Carbon. (C)Carbon is present in both diamond and graphite, both contain carbon atoms but they have different structure means carbon atoms are attach with each other in different manner in both diamond n graphite, in graphite three out of four electrons of outer most shell r attached with other electrons of other carbon atoms and one electron is fee that's why graphite is a good conductor of electricity .

Are the atoms in the diamond stronger then the one in a graphite?

The carbon atoms that make up diamond are (within certain parameters) no different than the atoms found within the graphite. The strength between the two minerals comes from the structure/organization of the carbon, not the "strength" of atoms.
