Answer 1

Mastering Chemistry? I just finished this problem, i'll add all parts my question asked for with the questions in case you need those too.

a)

b)

c)

part A)Which of the following clusters of orbitals would form the shape shown here (Part A 1 figure) and would also be possible within the valence shell of an atom?

*The only one that is correct is the FOUR SP^3 ORBITALS.

part B)Which of the following clusters of orbitals would form the shape shown here (Part B 1 figure) either through the formation of a single molecule or by bonding to another atom of similar electronic geometry and results in an arrangement of orbitals that is possible within the valence shell of an atom?

*FIVE SP^3D, & THREE SP^2 ORBITALS WITH ONE P ORBITAL

part C)Which of the following clusters of orbitals would form the shape shown here (Part C 1 figure) either through the formation of a single molecule or by bonding to another atom of similar electronic geometry and results in an arrangement of orbitals that is possible within the valence shell of an atom?

*TWO SP ORBITALS WITH TWO P ORBITALS, SIX SP^3D^2 ORBITALS, & THREE P ORBITALS

Answer 2

Part B:

sp/sp2

sp/sp

p/p

s/sp2
