Given :
A chemical compound .
To Find :
Fix the formula for and write the full correct formula.
Solution :
We know, Potassium( K ) and Fluorine( F ) both have a valency of 1 i.e potassium can donate one electron and Fluorine can accept one electron only.
So, the chemical formula is wrong because no element has filled electron.
Therefore, to stabilise the molecule, 1 Potassium atom should make a bond from 1 Fluorine i.e KF ( correct formula ) .
Hence, this is the required solution.
Explanation:
Formula to calculate hybridization is as follows.
Hybridization =
where,
V = number of valence electrons present in central atom
N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom
C = charge of cation
A = charge of anion
So, hybridization of is as follows.
Hybridization =
=
= 2
Hybridization of is sp. Therefore,
is a linear molecule. There will be only two electron groups through which Be is attached.
Similarly, hybridization of is calculated as follows.
Hybridization =
=
= 5
Therefore, hybridization of is
is also a linear molecule. Though there are three lone pair of electrons present on a xenon atom and it is further attached with fluorine atoms through two electron pairs. Hence, there are in total five electron groups.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options is the correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups.
