AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the number of pi bonds associated with different hybridizations: sp^3, sp^2, and sp. It clarifies that sp^3 hybridization has no pi bonds, sp^2 has one pi bond, and sp has two pi bonds. Additionally, several yes/no questions related to atomic behavior and electromagnetic radiation are posed. Key points include that an electron in the n=4 state of hydrogen can transition to the n=2 state by emitting electromagnetic radiation, the inverse relationship between frequency and wavelength, and that energy is not increased when electromagnetic radiation is emitted. It is also noted that an excited atom can return to its ground state by absorbing electromagnetic radiation, and the energy of electromagnetic radiation does increase with frequency. The importance of thorough textbook study is emphasized for a better understanding of these concepts.

pi bonds for hybridizations, yes/no questions

im having a bit if trouble with this but i need to know the number of pi bonds for the sp^3, sp^2 and sp hybridizations

thanks if you can help ^^

i have another question as well,there are some questions and they have yes or no answers but I'm not sure what I am doing:

1. can an electron in the n=4 state in the hydrogen atom go to the n=2 state by emmiting electromagnetic radiation ar the appropriate frequency?

2. are the frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic radiation inversely proportional to each other?

3. is the energy of an atom increased when electromagnetic radiation is emmited from it?

4. can an excited atom be returned to its ground state by absorbing electromagnetic radiation?

5. does the energy of electromagnetic radiation increase as its frequency increases?

thanks again

These are theoretical questions.I'm sure a better view on the subject would be acquired by reading the textbook more carefully...

I completely agree. We can not do your work for you, Yura.
 
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
