Answer:
Explanation:
Given that ;
Compound H is optically active and have a molecular formula of C6H10 and therefore undergo catalytic hydrogenation. Catalytic hydrogenation involves the use Platinum/Nickel to produce C6H12
i.e
The proposed H and I structures are shown in the diagrams attached below .
compound H represents 3- methyl cyclopentene
compound I represents methyl cyclopentane
However; 3- methyl cyclopentene posses just only one chiral carbon which is optically active at the third position and it R and S enantiomers are shown in the second diagram below.
Answer : The structure of will be square-planar.
Explanation :
In the given molecule , 'Xe' is the central atom and 'H' is the terminal atom.
Xenon has 8 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1 valence electron. Therefore, the total number of valence electrons are 8 + 4(1) = 12 electrons.
The number of electrons used in Xe-H bonding = 8 electrons
The remaining electrons which are used as lone pair on central atom (Xe) = 12 - 8 = 4 electrons
There are 4 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs of electrons, they will be arranged in the octahedral arrangement around the central atom with 2 lone pairs of electrons on central atom. The lone pairs are arranged linearly across the central atom. The resulting structure will be square-planar.
The structure of is shown below.
