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 )

How does increasing temperature increase the number of reactions?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction
