Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the species
Concept introduction:
The magnetic properties of a substance are determined by examining electronic configuration of the species. Paramagnetic species are those in which unpaired electrons are remain in the orbital of any subshell and diamagnetic species does not contain unpaired electrons in the orbital of any subshell that means all electrons are paired.

- Predict the geometry of the following ions, using the electron-pair repulsion model. a BrO3 b AsO43 c CO32 d H3S+arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is/are true? Correct the false statements. a. The molecules SeS3. SeS2, PCl5, TeCl4, ICl3, and XeCl2 all exhibit at least one bond angle which is approximately 120. b. The bond angle in SO2 should be similar to the bond angle in CS2 or SCI2. c. Of the compounds CF4, KrF4, and SeF4, only SeF4 exhibits an overall dipole moment (is polar). d. Central atoms in a molecule adopt a geometry of the bonded atoms and lone pairs about the central atom in order to maximize electron repulsions.arrow_forwardFollowing are the structures of three isomers of difluorobenzene, C6H4F2. Are any of them nonpolar?arrow_forward
