Use partial orbital diagrams to show how the atomic orbitals of the central atom lead to hybrid orbitals in SeClz. Hint: First determine AXmEn and outer electron configuration of the central atom. Select one: 11 || mix 1 | t1 | † | 1| sp3 mix O b. sp3 mix sp? mix 1! 1 d. s sp3 mix 14 sp°d
Atomic Structure
The basic structure of an atom is defined as the component-level of atomic structure of an atom. Precisely speaking an atom consists of three major subatomic particles which are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Many theories have been stated for explaining the structure of an atom.
Shape of the D Orbital
Shapes of orbitals are an approximate representation of boundaries in space for finding electrons occupied in that respective orbital. D orbitals are known to have a clover leaf shape or dumbbell inside where electrons can be found.
I'm reviewing for my final. This is an old problem that I got correct (option a), but I can't remember how. I know that SeCl2 is AX2E2, which is sp3, but I'm stuck trying to figure out how I chose option a and not option b. How do I know the difference in the amount of arrows (e-) in the p orbital boxes? Thanks :)
