hich noble gas has the same electron configuration as each of the ions in the following compounds?
msp;
(a)
Interpretation:
The noble gas atoms that have the same configuration as each of the ions in the given compound are to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The distribution of the electrons that exists in the atomic orbital of an atom is collectively known as electron configuration. The description of every electron in an orbital is given by the electron configuration of that atom.
Atoms lose or gain electrons to become stable by attaining nearest noble gas configuration. While doing so, they are converted to their respective ions. The positive ion and the negative ion combine to form their corresponding salt.

- A molecule with the formula AB3, in which A and B represent different atoms, could have one of three different shapes. Sketch and name the three different shapes that this molecule might have. Give an example of a molecule or ion that has each shape.arrow_forwardConsider the following compounds: CO2, SO2, KrF2, SO3, NF3, IF3, CF4, SF4, XeF4, PF5, IF5, and SCl6. These 12 compounds arc all examples of different molecular structures. Draw the Lewis structures for each and predict the molecular structure. Predict the bond angles and the polarity of each. (A polar molecule has a net dipole moment, while a nonpolar molecule docs not.) See Exercises 115 and 116 for the molecular structures based on the trigonal bipyramid and the octahedral geometries.arrow_forwardThe most common exceptions to the octet rule are compounds or ions with central atoms having more than eight electrons around them. PF5, SF4, CIF3, and Br3 are examples of this type of exception. Draw the Lewis structure for these compounds or ions. Which elements, when they have to, can have more than eight electrons around them? How is this rationalized?arrow_forward
- An important observation supporting the concept of resonance in the localized electron model was that there are only three different structures of dichlorobenzene (C6H4C10). How does this fact support the concept of resonance (see Exercise 89)?arrow_forwardClassify the bonding in each of the following molecules as ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent. a. H2 b. K3P c. NaI d. SO2 e. HF f. CCl4 g. CF4 h. K2Sarrow_forwardThe CBr bond length in CBr4 is 191 pm; the BrBr distance in Br2 is 228 pm. Estimate the radius of a C atom in CBr4. Use this value to estimate the CC distance in ethane, H3CCH3. How does your calculated bond length agree with the measured value of 154 pm? Are radii of atoms exactly the same in every molecule?arrow_forward
