ld be the structure of xeh4? double-click any atom and type xe to change the label. draw the molecule by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds. show all lone pairs of electrons.
1 answer:
Answer : The structure of will be square-planar.
Explanation :
In the given molecule , 'Xe' is the central atom and 'H' is the terminal atom.
Xenon has 8 valence electrons and hydrogen has 1 valence electron. Therefore, the total number of valence electrons are 8 + 4(1) = 12 electrons.
The number of electrons used in Xe-H bonding = 8 electrons
The remaining electrons which are used as lone pair on central atom (Xe) = 12 - 8 = 4 electrons
There are 4 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs of electrons, they will be arranged in the octahedral arrangement around the central atom with 2 lone pairs of electrons on central atom. The lone pairs are arranged linearly across the central atom. The resulting structure will be square-planar.
The structure of is shown below.

An oxide of nitrogen contains 30.45 mass % N, if the molar mass is 90± 5 g/mol the molecular formula is N₂O₄.
<h3>What is molar mass?</h3>The molar mass of a chemical compound is determined by dividing its mass by the quantity of that compound, expressed as the number of moles in the sample, measured in moles. A substance's molar mass is one of its properties. The compound's molar mass is an average over numerous samples, which frequently have different masses because of isotopes.
<h3>How to find the molecular formula?</h3>The whole-number multiple is defined as follows.
Whole-number multiple =
The empirical formula mass is shown below.
Mw of empirical formula = Mw of N+ 2 x (Mw of O)
= 14.01 g/mol + 2 x (16.00 g/mol)
= 46.01 g/mol
With the given molar mass or the molecular formula mass, we can get the whole-number multiple for the compound.
Whole-number multiple = ≈ 2
Multiplying the subscripts of NO2 by 2, the molecular formula is N(1x2)O(2x2)= N2O4.

Answer: If a hydrogen atom and a helium atom have the same kinetic energy then the wavelength of the hydrogen atom will be roughly equal to the wavelength of the helium atom.
Explanation:
The relation between energy and wavelength is as follows.
This means that energy is inversely proportional to wavelength.
As it is given that energy of a hydrogen atom and a helium atom is same.
Let us assume that . Hence, relation between their wavelengths will be calculated as follows.
... (1)
... (2)
Equating the equations (1) and (2) as follows.
Thus, we can conclude that if a hydrogen atom and a helium atom have the same kinetic energy then the wavelength of the hydrogen atom will be roughly equal to the wavelength of the helium atom.
