The bonding in Mo(CN)84- anion as been described in terms of sp3d4 hybridisation. The geometry of the hybrid bonds is "dodecahedral". The use of hybridisation to describe the bonding in transition metal complexes is very old school and other metods are generally used nowadays. There are some horrible pictures of this geometry on the web, try googling books for pictures.

Hybridization of the central atom of PCl5?

The central atom in PCl5, phosphorus, undergoes sp3d hybridization. This means that phosphorus uses one s orbital, three p orbitals, and one d orbital to form five equivalent sp3d hybrid orbitals, which are involved in bonding with the five chlorine atoms.


Is any shortcut for finding Hybridization?

1/2[No.of Single Bonds in compound+Valency of the Central atom+Charge of the compound].Example: XeO3Hybridization=1/2[0+8+0]=1/2(8)=4So Hybridization is SP3.Another Example:- XeF6Hybridization=1/2(8+6+0)=1/2(14)=7So Hybridization of XeF6 sp3d3We can try take all examples find the Hybridization that componds.there's one easy method too... Its sigma + lone pairs..............In XeO3, There are 3 sigma bonds and one lone pair... Therefore hybridisation is 4. its sp3.... Similarly its for XeF6....


What is the charge of uranium 238?

Any electrical charge for the neutral atom. Uranium valences are: 3,4,5,6, 7, possible also 2 in UO.


What is the center of an atom of any element?

The center of an atom of any element is the nucleus.


What creates the different elements in an atom?

Your question is a little off, because atoms do not contain different elements; any given atom is an element, for example, a hydrogen atom, an oxygen atom, etc. An atom by definition is the smallest possible amount of a specific element. If you would like to know why atoms are a specific element, that is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus.


How can you get californium?

If you need to ask, you probably can't. Californium is an extremely rare element produced in "atom smashers". If that doesn't suggest some possible sources to you, you don't have any business having any.


Is it in any way possible for a human to travel through solid matter?

Unless becoming smaller than an atom and traveling through the space in between particles.... no


How many protons does an atom with an atomic number of 23 and a mass number of 21 have?

The specified atom can not exist, because the mass number of any atom must be at least as large as its atomic number!


What is the smallest piece of an element that still retains the properties of the element?

The smallest piece of an element that still retains the properties of the element is an atom. Atoms are the building blocks of all matter and preserve the unique characteristics of each element, such as its chemical behavior and physical properties.


How many bonds can Si3s23p2 make without hybridization?

wo. A strange question! if you hybridise the 3s and 3 p orbitals you end up with sp3 and still get the same answer. Perhaps the hybridisation involves d orbitals, if that is what you are being taught.


Which element has the most electronegavitity?

A fluorine atom has the greatest electronegativity of any atom.


Is it possible to split the nucleus of a light atom?

It is possible to photoactivate any nucleus except 1H. Be really hard to do, but possible. Light (a Photon) is a "massless" sub-atomic particle (Boson) that has no atomic structure / any structure is sub-atomic; IE: No "Atom, proton, neutron, electron" etc. Because of this it is not an "Atom" and cannot be split. Photon's can be 'cloned' which some term as splitting, however they are not really split as there is nothing to split. Photon's interact with charged electrons and clone themselves into lower frequencies, putting white light through a prism results in bands of colored light (lower frequencies).
