For each of the following molecules or molecular ions, give the steric number, sketch and name the approximate molecular geometry, and describe the direction of any distortions from the approximate geometry due to lone pairs. In each case, the central atom is listed first and the other atoms are all bonded directly to it. (a) TeH2 (b) AsF3 (c) PCl4+ (d) XeF5+
“Inert” xenon actually forms several compounds, especially with the highly electronegative elements oxygen and fluorine.The simple fluorides XeF₂, XeF₄, and XeF₆ are all formed by di-rect reaction of the elements. As you might expect from the sizeof the xenon atom, the Xe-F bond is not a strong one. Calcu-late the Xe-F bond energy in XeF₆, given that the heat of for-mation is 402 kJ/mol.
