Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Write the Lewis structures for the following species, and indicate whether each is an odd-electron species, an electron-deficient species, or an expanded valence shell species. There is only one central atom in each. (a) XeF2 (b) BeCl2 (c) XeO2F4 (both O and F are terminal atoms)arrow_forwardFor each of the following molecules or ions that contain sulfur, write the Lewis structure(s), predict the molecular structure (including bond angles), and give the expected hybrid orbitals for sulfur. a. SO2 b. SO3 c. d. e. SO32 f. SO42 g. SF2 h. SF4 i. SF6 j. F3SSF k. SF5+arrow_forwardGive two requirements that should be satisfied for a molecule to be polar. Explain why CF4 and XeF4 are nonpolar compounds (have no net dipole moments) while SF4 is polar (has a net dipole moment). Is CO2 polar? What about COS? Explain.arrow_forward
- What are the hybridizations of nitrogen in NF3 and NH3 respectively?arrow_forwardWhat is the electron configuration of Co²⁺?arrow_forward2. X is isoelectronic with Xe. It reacts with Na ion and forms Na2X.a. Give the electronic configuration (EC) and orbital diagram (OD) of the NEUTRAL atom of X. b. X forms an oxide, XO2. Give the chemical name, draw the Lewis structure of XO2 and predict its shape.arrow_forward
- Describe the bonding in the nitrate ion, NO3?arrow_forwardTwo fourth-period atoms, one of a transition metal, M, and the other of a main-group nonmetal, X, form a compound with the formula M2X3. What is the electron configuration of atom X if M is Fe? What is the configuration of X if M is Co, if X is the same then give the full electron configuration for the Co ion.arrow_forwardSelenium tetrafluoride, SeF₄, is a colorless liquid that is used as a fluorinating reagent in organic synthesis. Based on your Lewis structure for SeF₄, how many electron domains are on the central atom?arrow_forward
