Formal Charges
Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be ne…
Polarity Of Water
In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in t…
Valence Bond Theory Vbt
Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the forma…

Answer to Problem 90A

W, tungsten has the highest melting point and has half filled d orbital, mercury, Hg has lower boiling point and has full s and d orbital.

Explanation of Solution

The elements which orbital are half filled that elements have a higher melting point and stable. There is relation between solubility of substance and its melting point. To achieve most stable configuration d block elements can promote electrons from s block. In the period six, element W, tungsten has the highest melting point and have half filled d orbital. To give tungsten a half full shell, two electrons are promoted from s orbital to p orbital. Repulsive forces reduce the stability of elements and lower the melting point, as the number electron in orbital increases. Mercury, Hg has lower boiling point and has full s and d orbital.

Conclusion

The elements with half filled orbitals have a higher melting point and stable. Mercury, Hg has lower boiling point and has full s and d orbital. W, tungsten has the highest melting point and has half filled d orbital.
