Use lewis structures to explain why br3- and i3- are stable, while f3- is not

1 answer:

4 0

If you sketch a Lewis dot structure of I3-, you'll perceive that the center I atom formulates two bonds, and also has three non-bonding pairs of electrons. That's an over-all of five electron pairs - beyond an octet. Lots of compounds disrupt the octet rule that means, but the first long-row elements like F can't because the lower elements like iodine can use an obtainable d-orbital to house the additional pair of electrons (sp3d hybridization), but F just doesn't have a d-orbital that it can use.

The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal. T

SVEN [57.7K]

The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal is True.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear Fission is the process in which splitting of a nucleus takes place that releases free neutrons and lighter nuclei. The fission of heavy elements like "Uranium is highly exothermic" and releases "200 million eV" compared to the energy that is released by burning coal which gives a few eV.

In the given example, it is obvious that the energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than that of the energy released from 3 grams of coal because the amount of energy released during nuclear fission is millions of times more efficient per mass than that of coal considering only $\frac{1}{10}^{th}$ part of the original nuclei is converted to energy.
