What atomic or hybrid orbital on sb makes up the sigma bond between sb and f in antimony(iii) fluoride, sbf3?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer: The four sp^3 hybridized orbitals on Sb makes up the sigma bonds between Sb and F in antimony(iii) fluoride ,SbF_3

Explanation:

According to VESPR theory:

Number of electrons around the central atom : \frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

V = number of valence electrons

N = number of neighboring atoms

C = charge on cation

A = charge on an anion

In antimony(III) fluoride ,

Antimony being central atom: V= 5,N =3,C=0,A=0

Number of electrons : \frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]=4

Number of electrons around the central atom are 4 which means that SbF_3 molecule has four sp^3 hybridized orbitals.

Do any of the elements have similar properties?
Elis [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Many elements have similar properties. This can be seen in how periodic table is arranged.  The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior.  All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties.  

For eg: Lithium, Sodium, and Potassium fall under group one in periodic table. These elements exhibit similar properties such as being extremely reactive.
