- The percent ionic character of the bonds in several interhalogen Molecules (as estimated from their measured dipole moments and bond lengths) are ClF (11%), BrF(15%), BrCl (5.6%), ICl(5.8%), and IBr (10%). Estimate the percent ionic characters for each of these molecules, using the equation in Problem 37, and compare them with the given values.arrow_forwardThe strucrure of TeF5 is Draw a complete Lewis structure for TeF5, and explain the distortion from the ideal square pyramidal structure.

- 27. What is the Lewis Structures of H2CO, where C is the central atom?arrow_forwardA major challenge in implementing the “hydrogen economy”is finding a safe, lightweight, and compact way of storinghydrogen for use as a fuel. The hydrides of light metalsare attractive for hydrogen storage because they can store ahigh weight percentage of hydrogen in a small volume. Forexample, NaAlH4 can release 5.6% of its mass as H2 upondecomposing to NaH(s), Al(s), and H2(g). NaAlH4 possessesboth covalent bonds, which hold polyatomic anionstogether, and ionic bonds. (a) Write a balanced equationfor the decomposition of NaAlH4. (b) Which element inNaAlH4 is the most electronegative? Which one is the leastelectronegative? (c) Based on electronegativity differences,predict the identity of the polyatomic anion. Draw a Lewisstructure for this ion. (d) What is the formal charge on hydrogenin the polyatomic ion?arrow_forward7)How many molecules from the list below are polar?arrow_forward
- One famous application of nanomaterials are in the cosmetic industry, identify the nanometrials used in sunscreens. Explain the role of these materials in sunscreens.arrow_forward“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 direct reaction of the elements. As you might expect from the size of the xenon atom, the Xe¬F bond is not a strong one. Calculate the Xe¬F bond energy in XeF6, given that the enthalpy of formation is -402 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardNitrogen exists as a diatomic molecule with a triple bond between the twoatoms, whereas the heavier elements of the group do not exist as E2at room temperature. Assign a reason.arrow_forward
