Sulfur has two filled energy levels and six electrons on the third energy level. The corresponding electron configuration is A.
B is incorrect because there are no p orbitals at the first energy level, ie, no 1p orbitals. C is incorrect because the 4s1 electron would spontaneously drop into the 3p orbitals. D is incorrect because the 3d electrons would spontaneously drop into the 3p orbitals.
Answer:
5.66
Explanation:
sin = opposite/hypotenuse
8 sin = opposite
8 sin 45 = 5.66
There are four type of intermolecular forces: ionic, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonds and London disperssion forces.
CH4 have no ions, so there are not ionic forces.
CH4 is a symetrical molecule, so there cannot be a net dipole in the molecule, so there is not dipole-dipole interaction.
Hydrogen bonding is only possbile when H is bonded to N, O or F, beacuse they are the atoms that considerable higher electgronegativy than hydrogen.
So, the only intermolecular force present in CH4 molecules is London disperssion forces, which is a force present in any molecule and is the weakiest one. That explains the low melting and boiling points of CH4.
This is true. Elements past lead are radioactive, because the repulsive force of the protons cannot be overpowered by the “gluing” ability of neutrons (remember, likes repel). As more and more protons are added, generally, the elements become more unstable; for example, Bismuth, right next to lead on the Periodic Table, is radioactive, but the half life of this element is about a billion times longer than the current age of the universe, but Oganesson, element number 118, has a half life of fractions of a second.
BF3 has a boron atom with three outer-shell electrons in its ground state and three fluorine atoms containing seven outer electrons. Further, if we observe closely, one boron electron is unpaired in the ground state. During the formation of this compound, the 2s orbital and two 2p orbitals hybridize.
Name of the Molecule: Boron Trifluoride
Molecular Formula: BF3
Geometry: Trigonal Planar
