Answer: D) 1 lone pair, square pyramidal

Explanation:

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

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom  = 7

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom  = 5

C = charge of cation  = 0

A = charge of anion  = 0

Now we have to determine the hybridization of the IF_5  molecule.

\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [7+5+0-0]=6

Bond pair electrons = 5

Lone pair electrons = 6-5 = 1

The number of electrons are 6 that means the hybridization will be sp^3d^2 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be octahedral .

But as there are five atoms around the central iodine atom, the sixth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be square pyramidal.

This would mean that all of the items described would have approximately 6.022 * 10^23 atoms, even though their masses would differ. This would be due to the molar mass of each substance being different because of the constituent elements in the substance.</span>

Mendeleev placed thallium (Tl) in the same group as lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), and cesium (Cs). Ho
EastWind [94]

Answer:

When observing how thallium reacts with the air of the earth's atmosphere, its hardness or resistance resembled sodium, it was not investigated further to classify it correctly

Explanation:

Now it is known that they contain different numbers of valence electrons and that thallium is a heavy metal like lead and that they have similar characteristics except for their melting point where thallium is higher.
