- Using an MO energy-level diagram, would you expect F2 to have a lower or higher first ionization energy than atomic fluorine? Why?arrow_forward1. I. How is metallic bonding formed? II. Explain why metallic bonding strength decrease down the group. Eg. Li>Na>K>Rb>Csarrow_forwardThe following will exhibit ionization isomerism, EXCEPT: A. Pt(NH3)2CI2 B. Pt(NH3),Cl,Br2 C. Pt(en);(ox)Cl2 D. Pt(H,O)2(NH3)2CI2arrow_forward
- 42. [BiF7] and [SbF6]³- ions have pentagonal bipyramidal and octahedral structures, respectively. Are these observations consistent with the VSEPR predictions. F Bi-F F F FIF Sb F F Hint: Remind yourself of the VSEPR models. Take the number of valence electrons of the central atom, add/substract the electrons from the charge, substract the number of bonding pairs from this number, if this turns zero, there are no lone pairs. If not place lone pairs.arrow_forward8 A Consider the figures above , which most likely to be silicon doped with Antimony Sb? * В Darrow_forwardY II Which of the following is paramagnetic? Select one: O a. Cl,O O b. Cl,0, O c. CIO,arrow_forward
- The arrangement of electron groups around the Xe atom in XeF4 is A. tetrahedral. B. trigonal bipyramidal. C. square planar. D. octahedral. E. square pyramidal.arrow_forwardWhy does the heavier elements do not form pπ – pπ multiple bond as carbon do?arrow_forwardWhich is more reactive, Fe2+ or Fe3+, and why?arrow_forward
- Briefly explain (in one or two sentences) the following observations: a. TIH is stable but TIH3 is not. b. SiF4 reacts with water but CF4 does not. c. HCl can be formed from H₂ and Cl₂ but HI cannot be synthesized from H₂ and I2. SiH4 rapidly reacts with water to produce H₂ and SiO2, in a manner very similar to the reaction between SiCl4 and H₂O. a. Write balanced equation for the reaction between SiH4 and H₂O that produces SiO2 and H₂. b. Is this a redox or acid-base reaction? c. Draw a clear mechanism of the first step in the reaction showing clear structures of reactants, intermediates and the products.arrow_forwarding and lear X G The element in period 5 that has X ent/takeCovalentActivity.do?locator=assignment-take The electron configurations for four main-group elements are given.
