You look in the refrigerator and find some orange drink you had forgotten was there. the drink now has an "off" taste and bubbles. what is the most likely explanation for the changes in the drink? explain the process

Answer : The main reason is because of fermentation the orange drink has off taste and bubbles in it.

Explanation : When the orange drink was opened and kept in the refrigerator it got exposed to the atmospheric micro-organisnms, which when started to decompose the drink generated the carbon dioxide bubbles and gave it a bad taste. The decomposed drink may be have turned into vinegar or some other compound which gave it a bad taste after the fermentation process.

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
