<span>Xe = VIII = 8 valence electrons
F = VII = 4 (7 ve) = 28 valence electrons</span>
total ve = 8 + 28 = 36 ve
<span>36 - 4(2) = 28 ve
(there are 2 electrons in each bond x 4 bonds)</span>
<span>28 - 4(6) = 4
(We assign the remaining electrons to F atoms)</span>
<span>4 - 2(2) = 0
(Therefore 4 electrons left => we have 2 lone pairs)</span>
The steric number = No. of σ bonds + #lone pairs
= 4 σ bonds + 2 lone pairs = 6 => d²sp³ (6 hybrid orbitals)
<span>4 bonds + 2 lone pairs => square planar</span>
Answer:
Decreases
Explanation:
The atmospheric pressure on the surface of the mercury pushes it up the evacuated tube until the downward pressure of the mercury equals the atmospheric pressure.
If the atmospheric pressure decreases, the mercury doesn't have to rise as high.
The mercury height decreases.
