The question is asking to state the element would most likely have chemical properties similar to that of fluorine and base on my research and further investigation, I would say that it would be Bromine. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have questions and further clarifications
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the hybridization of
, we use the equation:
![\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BNumber%20of%20electron%20pair%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5BV%2BN-C%2BA%5D)
where,
V = number of valence electrons present in central atom (S) = 6
N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom = 0
C = charge of cation = 0
A = charge of anion = 0
Putting values in above equation, we get:
![\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[6]=3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BNumber%20of%20electron%20pair%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5B6%5D%3D3)
The number of electron pair around the central metal atom are 3. This means that the hybridization will be
and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar.
Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
The properties of a compound are nothing like the properties of th elements that combine to make it.
sodium chloride,NaCl, table salt, is a white cubic crystal, stable ionic compound, soluble in water
sodium is a soft metal, very reactive with water and air
chlorine is a yellow green gas that is poisonous and very reactive.
carbon dioxide, CO2, is a clear, colorless gas that puts out fires, plants use but we breath out.
carbon is a black solid, or a diamond
oxygen is a clear colorless gas that is needed for burning and breathing.
The correct is tricky, be careful. The right is silicon dioxyde (SiO2)
Silicon Oxides are written in the form SiOx, (0 <x <2), so:
there is no silicon trioxygen and disilicon dioxygen.
SiO is called silicon monoxide and not monosiicon oxygen, so this proposition is false.
All that remains is the silicon dioxide (SiO2) that is written correctly.
Silicon dioxide can be synthesized but also exists in abundance in nature. Silicon (Si) represents about 26% of the Earth's crust. Silica (SiO2), the natural form of silicon dioxide, accounts for about 60%.
