What is the valency of Carbon? Carbon has 6 protons.

Can you answer this, Booby?

Yeah, I figured you would google the answer.

LOL!

In sp³ hybridization, one s orbital and three p orbitals hybridize to form four sp³ orbitals,
each consisting of 25% s character and 75% p character.
This type of hybridization is required whenever an atom is surrounded by four groups of electrons.

More googling.

BTW valency of four is only partly correct, e.g. CO, carbon monoxide

Just do some more googling.

Can’t you google how carbon monoxide is possible?

You didn’t even know the difference between organic chemistry and biochemistry you blithering idiot—didn’t google it first 

LOL “intelligentsia” when anyone looking at the crud you loaded the “Chinese bioweapon” thread with knows you are a dumb, uneducated idiot—and several have said so.

But you google well.

Monk,
quit now -
you're only making more of a fool of yourself.   

Well Monk,
did I teach you something?

Monk,
if you didn't study hybridization at Uni then either -
you didn't go to Uni or
you did a chemistry made easy course or
you only studied chemistry at High School.

Which is it?

Monk,
that question is beyond your paygrade.


https://chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Environmental_Chemistry/Supplemental_Mod...

What are the molecular structures of carbon oxides?
The formation of carbon oxides is due to electronic configurations of carbon and oxygen.
They have 4 and 6 valence electrons respectively.
Using these valence electrons, we can give the Lewis dot structure for CO and three resonance structures for CO2 as follows:

These formulas suggest very strong bonding between carbon and oxygen in these gaseous molecules: triple bond in C-O, and double bonds in O=C=O. However, a formula containing a triple bond contribute to the resonance structure.


What atomic orbitals are involved in the molecular orbitals of carbon oxides?
The chemical bonding is more of an interpretation of the molecules in view of their properties. Using results from quantum mechanical approach, we may start by reviewing the electronic configurations of carbon and oxygen:

C: 1s2 2s22p2
O: 1s2 2s22p4

Thus, the carbon has 4 valence electrons and oxygen has 6 valence electrons. The s and p atomic orbitals are available for chemical bonding.

The valence bond approach suggests that p orbitals of carbon and oxygen are used in these molecules. In CO, only one such atomic orbital from each atom of C and O are employed to form a sigma, s, bond, and overlapping of two p orbitals leads to the formation of the two pi, p, bond. Thus, the bond order is 3 between C and O in CºO.

So you googled it, but still did not give a simple explanation.

I read the first three pages of the China Bioweapon crud again.

You were blown out of the water by various people who clearly do have tertiary qualifications unlike you.

For crud and for stealing posts, Scumbag Cunt?

With a valency of four, how does carbon monoxide even form, scumbag post thief and high school dropout?

Hybridization of CO (Carbon Monoxide)





Today in this video, we are going to learn the hybridization of CO molecules. It is a chemical formula for Carbon Monoxide. To understand the hybridization of the molecule, we will first look at its Lewis structure and find out how many hybrid orbitals are formed.

After finding out the total number of hybrid orbitals formed for the molecule, we can find out the hybridization of the central atom. In this video, we use a simple method of finding a steric number to find the hybridization. Along with hybridization, we also look at the molecular geometry and bond angles of this molecule.

Orbital Overlap Diagram of CO (carbon monoxide)





Both the carbon AND the oxygen are "sp" hybridized, and therefore the two hybrid orbitals are arranged LINEARLY.
THEN, one of the leftover 2p orbitals is drawn in the "up-down" direction ... they 'overlap' to make one of the pi bonds (the "double" bond).
The other leftover 2p orbital is drawn in the "forward-backward" direction, and they overlap to make the second pi bond (the "triple" bond).

Not as simple as simpleton Monk thinks.

In this video I have discussed Mixing of Orbitals of Different Electronegativity Elements, Comparison with Iso-electronic molecule N2, Shape of σ and π orbitals of CO molecule, Zeff(O) less than Zeff(C).

Monk asks a question which shows he never went beyond high school.

Many blessings.

Since it was over 40 years ago that I studied chemistry -
organic and inorganic -
I must admit that I had forgotten much of the Hybridization Theory
and I'm not sure I even studied Carbon Monoxide -
and I admitted that I struggled with chemistry and went on to learn other subjects.

In any case I found the answers for you.
Now thank me and apologise for being so rude on New Year's day.

Chemical bonds.
I studied SP1  SP2 and SP3 orbitals at Uni but I couldn't remember much from 40 years ago
so yes I had to resort to Google to help me.
Monk asking me about the valency of carbon in a carbon monoxide bond
showed a question from High School where it is all simplified for the kids.
When you get to Uni you realise you were only told 1% of the story.

I was watching Hybridization of atomic orbitals YouTube videos and one
mentioned the time independent Schrodinger equation and Hamiltonian mechanics used to derive them –
Here at  5:21   and  5:35
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azI-_S6g8C8

Then I went to here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamiltonian_mechanics

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger_equation

and realised I was way out of my depth. LOL
At least some videos tried to simplify it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewtgUFSMsnY

I’m glad I didn’t try to study chemistry any more than I did at Uni –
I would never have passed. It was not a strong subject for me.
I went on to study other subjects.
I find it remarkable that any human being was able to work all of that out for themselves.

Certainly Monk never gave an intellectual reply -
he doesn't haven't a clue about it.

I'm sorry Bobby -
yes - I had never heard of the hybridization of atomic orbitals.
I realise thanks to you that I was told fairy stories at high school about chemical bonds.
I learnt a lot from the videos you posted and I appreciate your knowledge.
I wish that I would have been a scientist like you.

“Question to ‘brave’ Booby”

You have not demonstrated any bravery.

You have demonstrated ASPD.

What sort of pillock changes the title of every one of his posts to “brave Sir Booby?” That is pillockyness of a very high level. A level where no one can take you seriously.

One element of your nincompoopery is in claiming a high view rate for the pathetic animal videos you post, off topic, in your MRB.

I posted in my board about the new virus filling hospitals to overflowing in China. 15 “people” have read it. I have kept a close eye on it and haven’t seen a member’s name appear. So 15 “guests” or bots have viewed it or most of those 15 were guests/bots.

That happens to your banal YouTubes—bits follow the link to YouTube (or wherever.) I doubt many members watch them—they are pretty bloody crap.

I will copy Critters and Gardens stuff to my MRB.

My degree is real. You are a high school dropout.

You know nothing about geology or science or anything much.

Geology of iron.
What a true geologist would know:


https://geology.com/rocks/iron-ore.shtml#


What is Iron Ore?

Earth's most important iron ore deposits are found in sedimentary rocks. They formed from chemical reactions that combined iron and oxygen in marine and fresh waters. The two most important minerals in these deposits are iron oxides: hematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4). These iron ores have been mined to produce almost every iron and steel object that we use today - from paper clips to automobiles to the steel beams in skyscrapers.


How Does Iron Ore Form?
Nearly all of Earth's major iron ore deposits are in rocks that formed over 1.8 billion years ago. At that time Earth's oceans contained abundant dissolved iron and almost no dissolved oxygen.

The iron ore deposits began forming when the first organisms capable of photosynthesis began releasing oxygen into the waters. This oxygen immediately combined with the abundant dissolved iron to produce hematite or magnetite.

Knobs? Is that the rock you crawled out from under?

https://www.britannica.com/place/Iron-Knob

Iron Knob, town, northeastern Eyre Peninsula, South Australia,
247 miles (397 km) northwest of Adelaide by rail.
It is the centre for one of the richest deposits of iron ore in the Southern Hemisphere.
Mining rights were acquired in 1897, and in 1901 the Broken Hill Proprietary Company, Ltd.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Knob

Mine closure and re-opening

Quarrying for iron at Iron Knob and Iron Monarch ended in 1998.[28] When the quarrying stopped, the town population declined to 200[29] and Iron Knob was under threat of becoming a ghost town. However, due to rising prices of housing elsewhere, the town has attracted new residents seeking low cost residences. A home could be purchased for approximately A$35,000–70,000 and vacant land could be purchased for less than A$15,000.

In 2010, Onesteel (later Arrium) announced that it would return to Iron Knob to reopen the Iron Monarch mine.[28] The Iron Monarch mine was prepared for reopening by Arrium in 2013.[30] As of 2015, both Iron Monarch and Iron Duke continue to produce iron ore for export and for smelting at the Whyalla Steelworks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Mitty#External_links


Mitty is a meek, mild-mannered man with a vivid fantasy life. In a few dozen paragraphs, he imagines himself a wartime pilot, an emergency-room surgeon, and a devil-may-care killer. Although the story has humorous elements, there is a darker and more significant message underlying the text, leading to a more tragic interpretation of the Mitty character. Even in his heroic daydreams, Mitty does not triumph, several fantasies being interrupted before the final one sees Mitty dying bravely in front of a firing squad. In the brief snatches of reality that punctuate Mitty's fantasies, the reader meets well-meaning but insensitive strangers who inadvertently rob Mitty of some of his remaining dignity.

The character's name has come into more general use to refer to an ineffectual dreamer and appears in several dictionaries.[2] The American Heritage Dictionary defines a Walter Mitty as "an ordinary, often ineffectual person who indulges in fantastic daydreams of personal triumphs"

Now we will see avoidance.

A person with ASPD doesn’t feel that theft etc are bad things to do so he hates to be asked to be responsible.

OK, one more bit of diversion.

The thieving arsehole’s thievery will only acknowledged after a long drawn out process. This is because thieving arseholes don’t think their thievery is particularly wrong. Such is ASPD.

Booby has run away as I predicted.

As well as stealing posts from Critters and Gardens he has stolen my intellectual property.

One case involved a photo of Socks. The thieving arsehole downloaded this to his hard disk drive and THEN uploaded MY photo of MY dog to an image hosting website!

Theft pure and simple.

No explanation.

No apology.

So, thieving arsehole, care to explain why you stole a photo of Socks and uploaded that to an image hosting website?

You could not have believed that the photo belonged to you, so it was an act of theft. You are a thief.

Monk is forgiven
