The molecule XeF2 does not obey the octet rule. Draw its Lewis structure and state the type of octet-rule exception. Include lon
e pair electrons in the Lewis structure.
1 answer:
Answer: See attachment.
Explanation:
Exceptions to the octet rule fall into three categories:
- An incomplete octet.
- An odd number of electrons.
- More than eight valence electrons around the central atom.
In addition to the 3<em>s</em> and 3<em>p</em> orbitals, x<u>enon also has 3</u><u><em>d</em></u><u> orbitals that can be used in bonding</u>. These orbitals enable xenon to form an expanded octet.

Answer:
<u>Explanation</u>:
<u>Number of molecules for </u>
Atomic mass of Na + H + C + 3(O) = 22.99 + 1.008 + 12.01 + 3 × 16.00 = 84.00 g/mol
<u>Number of molecules for for </u>
= Atomic mass of 3(Na) + P + 4(O)
= 3(22.99) + 30.97 + 4(16.00) = 163.94 g/mol
