Answer:
SeCl₆ < SeF₂ < SeO₂
Explanation:
(A) SeO₂
The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 1 lone pair. The molecule is bent shaped which has an angle of 120°.
(B) SeCl₆
The central atom has 6 bond pairs and 0 lone pair. The geometry is octahedral in which the equatorial bonds has an angle of 90° and axial bond has an angle of 90°.
(C) SeF₂
The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs. The geometry is bent shape which has an angle of approximately 105.5°.
The order is:
<u>SeCl₆ < SeF₂ < SeO₂</u>
A condensation reaction is described to be a reaction wherein two molecules form an even larger product and consequently produces a smaller molecule as a by-product. For example, when two amino acids are combined, a dipeptide bond is formed. As a result, 1 molecule of water is produced as a by-product.
