Please find attached the completed Lewis dot diagram structure for PI₂F
Explanation:
The number of valence electrons are;
Phosphorus = 5 Electrons
Iodine = 2 × 7 electrons = 14 electrons
Chlorine = 7 electrons
The total number of valence electrons = 14 + 7 + 5 = 26 electrons
2) We draw the symbol that represents the basic (general) structure of the molecule as follows;
The sheared electron pair are represented by single bond lines
3) We complete the octet structures round the fluorine and the iodine atoms as attached showing 18 electrons plus 6 shared electron pairs, with a maximum from step 2 to give a total of (18 + 6) 24 electron pairs
4) We add the 2 unaccounted valence electron on the phosphorus atom to give it the stable octet structure, which gives the completed Lewis structure
Answer:
Explanation:
Potassium nitrate is a soluble salt which readily dissolves in a polar solvent, such as water. When solid potassium nitrate is dissolved in water, it dissociates into potassium cations and nitrate anions.
Due to the resultant ionic charges, the polar water molecules attract the resultant ions and potassium nitrate ions become hydrated, that is, surrounded by water molecules.
Nitrate, our anion, attracts the partially positive ends of water molecules by attracting them via hydrogen atom.
Potassium, the cation, attracts the partially negative end of water molecules by attracting via oxygen atom.
