In the compound iodine heptafluoride: (hints: write out the molecular formula of this compound before answering the question. Also be sure you clearly understand the concepts of charge, oxidation numbers, how to determine charge and oxidation numbers, and - most important of all! - the similarities and the differences between charges and oxidation numbers)

<u>Each fluorine atom has a charge of 1</u>

<h3>What is iodine heptafluoride?</h3>

The interhalogen compound iodine heptafluoride, often known as iodine(VII) fluoride or iodine fluoride, has the chemical formula IF7.   As anticipated by VSEPR theory, it exhibits a unique pentagonal bipyramidal structure.  The molecule is capable of undergoing the Bartell process, a pseudorotational rearrangement that is similar to the Berry mechanism but for a heptacoordinated system.  It produces colorless crystals that melt at 4.5 °C and have a very narrow liquid range with a boiling point of 4.77 °C. The dense mist has an unpleasant, musty smell. The molecule is symmetrical with D5h. suggestion

marshall27 [118]
Endothermic reactions, on the other hand, absorb heat and/or light from their surroundings. For example, decomposition reactions are usually endothermic. In endothermic reactions, the products have more enthalpy than the reactants. Thus, an endothermic reaction is said to have a positive<span> enthalpy of reaction. This means that the energy required to break the bonds in the reactants is more than the energy released when new bonds form in the products; in other words, the reaction requires energy to proceed.</span>
