Answer:
Tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, trigonal bipyramidal.
Explanation:
The VSPER theory states that the bonds of sharing electrons and the lone pairs of electrons will repulse as much as possible. So, by the repulsion, the molecule will have some shape.
In the ion PO₄³⁻, the central atom P has 5 electrons in its valence shell, so it needs 3 electrons to be stable. Oxygen has 6 electrons at the valence shell and needs 2 to be stable. 3 oxygens share 1 pair of electrons with P, and the two lone pair remaining in P is shared with the other O, then the central atom makes 4 bonds and has no lone pairs, the shape is tetrahedral.
In the ion H₃O⁺, the central atom O has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 electrons to be stable. The hydrogen has 1 electron, and need 1 more to be stable. The hydrogens share 1 pair of electrons with the oxygen, then it remains 3 electrons at the central atom, and the VSPER theory states that the shape will be a trigonal pyramidal.
In the AsF₅, the central atom As has 5 valence electrons, and F has 1 electron in its valence shell, so each F shares one pair of electrons with As, and there are no lone pairs in the central atom. For 5 bonds without lone pairs, the shape is trigonal bipyramidal.
Answer:
sulfur
Explanation:
In oxygen family sulfur has yellow color and also having stinky smell. Thus given statements are about sulfur.
It is present in oxygen family.
It has six valance electrons.
Its atomic number is 16.
Its atomic weight is 32 amu.
The electronic configuration of sulfur is given below,
S₁₆ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴
We can see the valance shell is third shell and it have six electrons thus sulfur have six valance electrons. (3s² 3p⁴ )
Sulfur is used in vulcanisation process.
It is used in bleach and also as a preservative for many food.
it is used to making gun powder.
