Answer : The structure of 
will be square-planar.
Explanation :
In the given molecule , 'Xe' is the central atom and 'H' is the terminal atom.
Xenon has 8 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1 valence electron. Therefore, the total number of valence electrons are 8 + 4(1) = 12 electrons.
The number of electrons used in Xe-H bonding = 8 electrons
The remaining electrons which are used as lone pair on central atom (Xe) = 12 - 8 = 4 electrons
There are 4 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs of electrons, they will be arranged in the octahedral arrangement around the central atom with 2 lone pairs of electrons on central atom. The lone pairs are arranged linearly across the central atom. The resulting structure will be square-planar.
The structure of is shown below.
Answer:
.
Explanation:
Lithium is in the first column of the periodic table, so it will have 1 valence electron.
Bromine is in the seventh column of the periodic table, so it will have seven valence electrons.
They must combine in a way to reach 8.
When combining elements to form compounds, the "crisscross method" is used. Above Li would be a charge of +1, and above Br would be a charge of -1.
Cross the 1 from the top of Li to the bottom of Br, and so there is 1 Br.
Cross the 1 from the top of Br to the bottom of Li, and so there is 1 Li.
It is not written BrLi because chemists decided to order them the other way. Technically speaking, it isn't wrong, but the positive charge is normally put on the left and the negative charge is normally put on the right.
THE KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY STATES THAT ALL PARTICLES OF AN IDEAL GAS ARE IN CONSTANT MOTION AND EXHIBITS PERFECT ELASTIC COLLISIONS.
Explanation:
An ideal gas is an imaginary gas whose behavior perfectly fits all the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory. In reality, gases are not ideal, but are very close to being so under most everyday conditions.
The kinetic-molecular theory as it applies to gases has five basic assumptions.
- Gases consist of very large numbers of tiny spherical particles that are far apart from one another compared to their size.
- Gas particles are in constant rapid motion in random directions.
- Collisions between gas particles and between particles and the container walls are elastic collisions.
- The average kinetic energy of gas particles is dependent upon the temperature of the gas.
- There are no forces of attraction or repulsion between gas particles.
