Which has the greater polarizing power, Li+ or Be2+ and why?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kvasek [131]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Polarizing power refers to an atoms ability to pull an electron toward it, polarizing the atom the electron comes from. Since cations are positive, they are able to attract electrons toward themselves. Anions are negative and so do not attract more electrons.

Therefore, Be2+ has a higher polarizing power because it has a higher quantitiy of protons, hence a higher polarizing power.

Which is an acceptable Lewis structure for a diatomic nitrogen molecule?
timofeeve [1]
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons (ve-), so a diatomic nitrogen molecule will have twice as many, 10 valence electrons. Then, just draw electrons in pairs of 2 until you both get ride of all of them (reach 0) and you fill every atom (eight electrons each). It can be drawn either way, the important thing is that there are 3 electron pairs shared between the two atoms.
