Answer:

Ionic character

A.  PF₃ > PBr₃ > PCl₃

B. BF₃ > CF₄ > NF₃

C. TeF₄ > BrF₃ > SeF₄

Explanation:

The most electronegative element is fluorine, followed chlorine, phosphorous nitrogen etc.

  • Atoms with high electronegativity tend to form negative ions.
  • Ionic compounds formed between elements with high electronegativity difference.
  • % ionic character is directly proportional to electronegativity difference.
  • According to Pauling Scale E.n for F(4.0), O(3.5), N(3.0), C(2.5), B(2.0), P(2.19), Se(2.55) , Te (2.1), Cl(3.16) and Br(2.96)
  • ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( P and F = 4 - 2.19 = 1.81), (P and Br = 2.96 - 2.19 = 0.77) , (P and Cl = 3.16 - 2.96 = 0.2 )
  • ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( N and F = 4 - 3 = 1), (B and F = 4 - 2 = 2) , (C and F = 4 - 2.5 = 1.5 )
  • ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( Se and F = 4 - 2.55 = 1.45), (F and Te = 4 - 2.1 = 1.9) , (F and Br = 4 - 2.19 = 1.81 )

Explain why hydrogen will form an ionic bond with fluorine but only forms covalent bonds with carbon
vaieri [72.5K]

A fluorine atom has seven valence electrons. ... Carbon will then have five valence electrons (its four and the one its sharing with fluorine). Covalently sharing two electrons is also known as a “single bond.” Carbon will have to form four single bonds with four different fluorine atoms to fill its octet.

Study the scenario. The particles in a system are moving around very slowly. A few minutes later, the particles are moving, on a
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The average kinetic energy of the system has increased as a result of the temperature increasing.

Explanation:

Assuming this is a gas based on the framing.

The molecules of a gas span a distribution of speeds, and the average kinetic energy of the molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the sample. KEavg is proportional to T.

This can be further studied until the Kinetic-Molecular Theory.
