Why can we not use atomic orbitals to describe the type of orbitlas used to construct Boron Trifluoride or Methane?​

Apeak with a retention time of 407 s has a width at half-height (w1/2) of 7.6 s. a neighboring peak is eluted 17 s later with a w1/2 of 9.4 s. a compound that is known not to be retained was eluted in 2.5 s. the peaks are not baseline resolved. how many theoretical plates would be needed to achieve a resolution of 1.5?

Which statement describes how phase changes can be diagrammed as a substance is heated? the phase is on the y-axis and the temperature is on the x-axis. the temperature is on the y-axis and the phase is on the x-axis. the time is on the y-axis and the temperature is on the x-axis. the temperature is on the y-axis and the time is on the x-axis.
