Argon chloride, ArCl is least likely to exist.

Argon belongs to the noble gas family. It has an atomic number of 18 and a valence electron configuration: 3s²3p⁶. Since the valence shell is completely filled i.e. it already has an octet configuration, this makes it stable and chemically inert. When approached closely by another element, Cl in this case, the fully filled valence shell of Ar would repel the incoming electron cloud. The only bond that could exist is the extremely weak, long-range Vander-Waals bond between Ar and Cl.

Question 11 (3 points)
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The outer core of the earth is liquid.  

Explanation:

Seismic waves travel through the Earth at different speeds and are reflected and refracted diffracted differently as they encounter layers of different densities.

By analyzing these waves, they have concluded that there is an inner core of solid iron surrounded by a liquid outer core consisting of nickel and iron.

A is wrong. The Earth consists of several layers

C is wrong. Seafloor spreading is caused by the movement of tectonic plates away from each other.

D is wrong. The mantle is mostly solid rock.

Create the Lewis structure of CF4. NOTE: do only the step asked for in each part and then click Check–don't work ahead to solve
Naya [18.7K]

To create the Lewis structure we need to take into account the octet rule: atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.

C belongs to Group 4A in the periodic table so it has 4 valence electrons. It needs to share 4 pairs of electrons to complete the octet.

F belongs to Group 7A in the periodic table so it has 7 valence electrons. Each F needs to share 1 pair of electrons to complete the octet.

As a consequence, in CF₄, C will form a single bond with each F and all the octets will be complete.
