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

Chemistry
1 answer:
MAXImum [283]3 years ago
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.

miv72 [106K]
Ernest Rutherford was a famous British physicist who lived and worked in the 19th and the first half of the 20th century. He is now considered to be the father of nuclear physics, given that he was the one responsible for figuring out about the nuclear structure of an atom (proton, electron, neutron) and about the nuclear processes in general. The element rutherfordium (Rf) is named after this scientist. When it comes to his personal life, his parents are both British, however, Ernest was born in New Zealand because his mom and dad before he was born.
