- Of the elements Be, C, Cl, Sb, and Cs, which is most likely to participate in extensive p bonding,?arrow_forwardHow would you explain the role of electron correlation in the accurate determination of molecular properties, and what is the significance of this correlation in quantum chemistry calculations?arrow_forwardIf an element is bonded to 4 other atoms and has a formal charge of +1, what group must the element be in? I know that group 3A atoms are elctron deficient, and that period 3 elements and below, except for group 3A elements like Aluminum, can expand their octet because of their available d-orbital, which may not be relevant to this problem. I don't understand this question, or why the answer would be 5A. Is it because 5A have odd valence electrons, and can form free radicals, like NO?arrow_forward
- Without consulting any tables, arrange the following substances in order and explain your choice of order: (a) Mg2+,Ar,Br,Ca2+ in order of increasing radius (b) Na, Na+ , O, Ne in order of increasing ionization energy (c) H, F, Al, O in order of increasing electronegativityarrow_forwardThe 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_forward7.84 Which of the following molecules is least likely to actually exist OF4,SF4,SeF4 , or TeF4 ? Why?arrow_forward
- At large interatomic separations, an alkali halide molecule MX has a lower energy as two neutral atoms, M+X ; at short separations, the ionic form (M+)(X) has a lower energy. At a certain distance, Rc , the energies of the two forms become equal, and it is near this distance that the electron will jump from the metal to the halogen atom during a collision. Because the forces between neutral atoms are weak at large distances, a reasonably good approximation can be made by ignoring any variation in potential V(R) for the neutral atoms between Rc and R= . For the ions in this distance range, Rc is dominated by their Coulomb attraction. (a) Express Rc for the first ionization energy of the metal M and the electron affinity of the halogen X. (b) Calculate Rc for LiF, KBr, and NaCl using data fromAppendix F.arrow_forwardThe cations O2+ and N2+ are formed when molecules of O2 and N2 are subjected to intense, high-energy solar radiation in Earths upper atmosphere. Write the electron configuration for O2+. Predict its bond order and magnetic behavior.arrow_forwardWhich group in the periodic table has elements with high (en-dothermic) IE₁ and very negative (exothermic) first electronaffinities (EA₁)? Give the charge on the ions these atoms formarrow_forward
