For many years after they were discovered, it was believed that the noble gases could not form compounds. Now we know that belie

f to be incorrect. A mixture of xenon and fluorine gases, confined in a quartz bulb and placed on a windowsill, is found to slowly produce a white solid. Analysis of the compound indicates that it contains 77.55% Xe and 22.45% F by mass.
(a) What is the formula of the compound?
(b) Write a Lewis structure for the compound.
(c) Predict the shape of the molecules of the compound.
(d) What hybridization is consistent with the shape you predicted?

Answer:We are already given with the mass of the Xe and it is 5.08 g. We can calculate for the mass of the fluorine in the compound by subtracting the mass of xenon from the mass of the compound.

 mass of Xenon (Xe) = 5.08 g

 mass of Fluorine (F) = 9.49 g - 5.08 g = 4.41 g

Determine the number of moles of each of the element in the compound. 

   moles of Xenon (Xe) = (5.08 g)(1 mol Xe / 131.29 g of Xe) = 0.0387 mols of Xe

  moles of Fluorine (F) = (4.41 g)(1 mol F/ 19 g of F) = 0.232 mols of F

The empirical formula is therefore,

     Xe(0.0387)F(0.232)

Dividing the numerical coefficient by the lesser number.

    XeF₆

The radius of a helium atom is a 31 PM. What is the radius in nanometers?
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Thus, the radius of the helium atom in nanometers is - 0.031 nm

Explanation:

Given that:-

The radius of the helium atom = 31 pm

Considering the conversion of length in pm to the length in nm as:-

1 pm = 0.001 nm

So,

Applying the above conversion factor in the radius of helium atom as:-

Radius = 31\times 0.001 nm = 0.031 nm

<u>Thus, the radius of the helium atom in nanometers is - 0.031 nm</u>

How many O atoms are in 4C₆H₁₂O₆
ipn [44]

Number of O atoms : 24

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

C₆H₁₂O₆ compound

Required

Number of atoms

Solution

A molecular formula  shows the number of atomic elements in compound.  

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of the atoms

Glucose-C₆H₁₂O₆ is composed of 3 elements, namely C, H, and O.

The number of atoms in a compound can usually be seen from the subscript number after the atom and the reaction coefficient shows the number of molecules

So number of O atoms :

= 4 x 6 = 24 atoms
