Technically, the answer is iron. Oxygen has a melting point way below zero (-219 degrees celsius), ice becomes water AT room temperature and bromine is already a liquid at room temperature. So, iron has a melting point greater than room temperature due to the fact that metals are made up of giant structures of atoms in a regular arrangement, and there are strong forces of electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and negative electrons, meaning that a lot of heat energy is required to break the bonds, i.e. a very high melting point, approx. 1500 degrees celsius. Hope this helps.

8. A. Density is independent of size (an intensive property).
9. B. The highest density is 1786 g/20cm^3, or 89.3 g/cm^3. The least is 512 g/20cm^3, or 25.6 g/cm^3. Therefore, the difference is 89.3 - 25.6, or 63.7 g/cm^3.
10. C. A bottle filled with air weighs less than one filled with marshmallows, because air is less dense than marshmallows.
11. D. The number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom, as well as the atomic number of the element.
12. C. The number represents the atomic mass of the element, which is determined based on the relative abundance of each form of the element.

Which of the following combination of elements would result in covalent compound? * W X Y Z Vand X Wand Z Y and Z Wand y​
TEA [102]

Answer:

C. Y & Z

Explanation:

V, W are imaginary metals here because their valence electrons are typically less than 4. X, Y, Z are non-metals and have higher valence electrons. Here, if V or W bind with X, Y, or Z we make ionic bond (because metal + non metal = ionic). But, if X binds with Y or Z or any combinations of any two of the three non-metals results in covalent bond (non metal + non metal = covalent).

Thus, Y and Z make covalent.

Is selenium tetrafluoride an ionic or covalent bond?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Synthesis

The first reported synthesis of selenium tetrafluoride was by Paul Lebeau in 1907, who treated selenium with fluorine:[1]

Se + 2 F2 → SeF4

A synthesis involving more easily handled reagents entails the fluorination of selenium dioxide with sulfur tetrafluoride:[2]

SF4 + SeO2 → SeF4 + SO2

An intermediate in this reaction is seleninyl fluoride (SeOF2).

Other methods of preparation include fluorinating elemental selenium with chlorine trifluoride:

3 Se + 4 ClF3 → 3 SeF4 + 2 Cl2

Structure and bonding

Selenium in SeF4 has an oxidation state of +4. Its shape in the gaseous phase is similar to that of SF4, having a see-saw shape. VSEPR theory predicts a pseudo-trigonal pyramidal disposition of the five electron pairs around the selenium atom. The axial Se-F bonds are 177 pm with an F-Se-F bond angle of 169.2°. The two other fluorine atoms are attached by shorter bonds (168 pm), with an F-Se-F bond angle of 100.6°. In solution at low concentrations this monomeric structure predominates, but at higher concentrations evidence suggests weak association between SeF4 molecules leading to a distorted octahedral coordination around the selenium atom. In the solid the selenium center also has a distorted octahedral environment.

Reactions

In HF, SeF4 behaves as a weak base, weaker than sulfur tetrafluoride, SF4 (Kb= 2 X 10−2):

SeF4 + HF → SeF3+ + HF2−; (Kb = 4 X 10−4)

Ionic adducts containing the SeF3+ cation are formed with SbF5, AsF5, NbF5, TaF5, and BF3.[3] With caesium fluoride, CsF, the SeF5− anion is formed, which has a square pyramidal structure similar to the isoelectronic chlorine pentafluoride, ClF5 and bromine pentafluoride, BrF5.[4] With 1,1,3,3,5,5-hexamethylpiperidinium fluoride or 1,2-dimethylpropyltrimethylammonium fluoride, the SeF62− anion is formed. This has a distorted octahedral shape which contrasts to the regular octahedral shape of the analogous SeCl62−. [5]
