How many hybrid orbitals are formed by the mixing


Discussion:

1. Consider you would expect a BeF2 molecule to be linear but an SF2 molecule to be angular.

2. a) How would you designate the hybrid orbitals formed by "mixing" one d one s and two p orbitals?

b) How many of the hybrid orbitals would be formed by the mixing?

3. Explain why C20H40 is a solid at 25oC, while C4H8 is a gas at 25oC?

I did a experiment on bonding in liquids. Here are my observations; could you please assist in answering the questions?

Observations

Questions

1. Name the types of intermolecular bonding present in each of the liquids used in the experiment.

2. In terms of intermolecular bonding, explain the relative differences in time taken for the vortex to disappear in each liquid.

3. Why is water so much different from the other two substances in each liquid.

4. With the same type of agitation and at the same temperature, why would sugar dissolve in water much faster than does salt?
