Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the element
Concept introduction:
Electronegativity is a term which describes the tendency of any species to pull the shared pair of electrons towards itself. More is the electronegativity of an element, more is the attraction of electron pairs towards itself. Trend of electronegativity in a period is different from the trend of electronegativity in a group.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the element
Concept introduction:
Electronegativity is a term which describes the tendency of any species to pull the shared pair of electrons towards itself. More is the electronegativity of an element; more is the attraction of electron pairs towards itself.

EBK INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY
- Mixing SbCl3 and GaCl3 in a 1:1 molar ratio (using liquid sulfur dioxide as a solvent) gives a solid ionic compound of empirical formula GaSbCl6 . A controversy arises over whether this compound is (SbCl2+)(GaCl4) or (GaCl2+)(SbCl4) . (a) Predict the molecular structures of the two anions. (b) It is learned that the cation in the compound has a bent structure. Based on this fact, which formulation is more likely to be correct?arrow_forwardPredict which element in each of the following pairs is more electronegative according to the general trends in the periodic table. (a) Br or Cl (b) O or S (c) Se or As (d) N or Farrow_forwardPhysical bonds can be divided into three which are London forces, Keesom forces andDebye forces. With the aid of a diagram, differentiate the interaction of dipole inLondon and Debye forces.arrow_forward

(a) To which three groups of the Periodic Table could the elementsX, Y and Z belong? Are any of these atoms X, Y or Zhypervalent in the trifluorides formed? (b) Use VSEPR theory to deduce the shapes of the molecules XF3,YF3 and ZF3, showing full working, and sketch these shapes (c) Only two of the three trifluorides have a non-zero dipole moment.For these molecules to which groups of the Periodic Table do thecentral atoms belong?arrow_forward
