Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Number of valence electrons in
Concept Introduction:
The fundamental principles that are followed to write an electronic configuration include three rules as follows:
Electron in a
Hund’s rule suggests electrons are not allowed to be paired up until each degenerate set of orbital has got at least one electron.
Pauli Exclusion Principle states two electrons within the same orbital cannot possess same set for four possible quantum numbers.

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Give a description of the kinds of ions that are expected to form by group : 1A, 2A, 6A, 7A elements.arrow_forwardhow would I identify which of these Lewis structures (A, B, C or D) is correct for PO33- and what is the VSEPR shape of the compound?arrow_forwardIn what ways are the electronic structures of the group 14 (4A) elements similar? In what ways are they different?arrow_forward
- Draw a Born–Haber cycle for the formation of LiF(s) from its elements.arrow_forwardAlthough nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) is a thermally stable compound, nitrogen triiodide (Nl3) is known to be a highly explosive material. NI3 can be synthesized according to the equation BN(s)+3IF(g)BF3(g)+NI3(g) a. What is the enthalpy of formation for NI3(s) given the enthalpy of reaction ( 307 kJ) and the enthalpies of formation for BN(s) (254 kJ/mol), IF(g) ( 96 kJ/mol), and BF3(g) ( 1136 kJ/mol)? b. It is reported that when the synthesis of NI3 is conducted using 4 moles of IF for every l mole of BN. one of the by-products isolated is [IF2]+ [BF4]. What are the molecular geometries of the species in this by-product? What are the hybridizations of the central atoms in each species in the by-product?arrow_forwardThe bond length in HI(1.62) is close to the sum of the atomic radii of H (0.37 Å) and I (1.33 Å). What does this fact indicate about the polarity of the bond?arrow_forward
- (c) Theoretically, define the following elements in the formulae belowPth = ρghq x ŋarrow_forwardAluminum oxide (Al₂ O₃) is a widely used industrial abrasive(emery, corundum), for which the specific application depends onthe hardness of the crystal. What does this hardness imply about the magnitude of the lattice energy? Would you have predictedfrom the chemical formula that Al₂ O₃ is hard? Explain.arrow_forwardHow many electrons does a halogen atom need to com-plete its octet? Give examples of the ways a Cl atom can do so.arrow_forward
- How many electrons occur in the valence level of Group 3A (13) and 3B (3) elements? Why are they different ?arrow_forwardWhat is the biggest difference between the Lewis and the AO-model in terms of the localisation ofelectrons in atoms?arrow_forward17) The first three ionization energy of an element X are 590, 1145, and 4912 kJ•mol^-1. What is the most likely formula for the stable ion of X? arrow_forward
