Interpretation:
Compare the estimated values with the experimental values have to be done.
Concept Introduction:
Atomic radius: The concept explain chemical element is a measured of the size of its atoms, in other words to measure the distance from the center of the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding cloud of number of electrons.
Bond distance: In molecular geometry, bond length or bond distance is the average distance between nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule. It is a transferable property of a bond between atoms of fixed types, relatively independent of the rest of the molecule.
Increase and decrease electro negativity: The less vacancy electrons an atoms has the least it will gain of electrons. Moreover the

- The ionisation energy of potassium is 4.34 eV and the electron affinity of chlorine is 3.61 eV. The Madelung constant for the KCl structure is 1.748 and the closest distance between ions of opposite sign is 0.314 nm. On the basis of these data, calculate the cohesive energy of KCl. Compare this with the observed cohesive energy of 6.42 eV for the ion pair and comment on the reasons for any discrepancyarrow_forwardWould you expect BrF3 to be as reactive with LiF(s) as it is with CsF(s)? Why (not)?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
- Phosgene, a substance used in poisonous gas warfare during World War I, is so named because it was first prepared by the action of sunlight on a mixture of carbon monoxide and chlorine gases. Its name comes from the Greek words phos (light) and genes (born of). Phosgene has the following elemental composition: 12.14% C, 16.17% O, and 71.69% Cl by mass. Its molar mass is 98.9 g/mol. (d) Using average bond enthalpies, estimate H for the formation of gaseous phosgene from CO(g) and Cl2(g).arrow_forwardOf the elements Be, C, Cl, Sb, and Cs, which is most likely to participate in extensive p bonding,?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
- Although 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 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+.

Estimate the percent ionic characters for each of these molecules, using the equation in Problem 37, and compare them with the given values.arrow_forward
- Several Lewis structures can be written for perbromate ion, , the central Br with all single Br—O bonds, or with one, two, or three Br=O double bonds. Draw the Lewis structures of these possible resonance structures, and use formal charges to predict which makes the greatest contribution to the resonance hybrid.arrow_forwardWhich of the following represent configurations of indium ions in compounds?
