Marat540 [252]

Answer : The structure of XeH_4 will be square-planar.

Explanation :

In the given molecule XeH_4, '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 XeH_4 is shown below.

Which of the following chemical reactions is the only reaction shown that would be predicted to occur based on the activity seri
Novosadov [1.4K]

B. Mn + NiBr₂  →  Ni + MnBr₂

Explanation:

The reaction that can be predicted of all is Mn + NiBr₂  →  Ni + MnBr₂.

The activity series is used to predict the products of single displacement reactions.

The series ranks metals in order of their reactivity. Those higher up in the series are highly reactive metals. Those at the bottom are slightly to non-reactive metals.

For a single displacement reaction to occur, a metal higher up in the activity series displaces one that is lower in the series.

  Reaction A will not occur, Ba is higher in the series

  Reaction C will not occur, Pt and Au are unreactive

  Reaction D will not occur as Zn is lower in the series

Mn is higher in the reactivity series and it will displace Ni from the solution.
