Which metal atom below would Not be involved in formation of a Type II Compound?

1 answer:

4 0

In formation of a Type II Binary Compound, the metal atom present is<span> NOT</span> found in either Group 1 or Group 2 on the periodic table. For the choices, Ba is under Group 2 on the periodic table, which makes it the atom not involved in formation of type II compounds. The answer is B.

Draw the Lewis structure for BrCl3. What are the approximate bond angles about the central atom?

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

BrCl₃ is an interhalogen compound with a hybridization of sp³d. The approximate bond angles can be predicted from the structure (attached below). Although, the lewis structure might be predicted to be trigonal bipyramidal from the structure, it is however a T-shaped geometry because of it's two lone pairs.

Also, from the structure attached, it can be predicted that the approximate bond angles about the central atom is 120° (360 ÷ 3) since each of the three chlorine atoms is equally spaced about the central atom.
