Answer:
Ionic character
A. PF₃ > PBr₃ > PCl₃
B. BF₃ > CF₄ > NF₃
C. TeF₄ > BrF₃ > SeF₄
Explanation:
The most electronegative element is fluorine, followed chlorine, phosphorous nitrogen etc.
- Atoms with high electronegativity tend to form negative ions.
- Ionic compounds formed between elements with high electronegativity difference.
- % ionic character is directly proportional to electronegativity difference.
- According to Pauling Scale E.n for F(4.0), O(3.5), N(3.0), C(2.5), B(2.0), P(2.19), Se(2.55) , Te (2.1), Cl(3.16) and Br(2.96)
- ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( P and F = 4 - 2.19 = 1.81), (P and Br = 2.96 - 2.19 = 0.77) , (P and Cl = 3.16 - 2.96 = 0.2 )
- ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( N and F = 4 - 3 = 1), (B and F = 4 - 2 = 2) , (C and F = 4 - 2.5 = 1.5 )
- ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( Se and F = 4 - 2.55 = 1.45), (F and Te = 4 - 2.1 = 1.9) , (F and Br = 4 - 2.19 = 1.81 )
Non-metals, which are organized on the right side of the periodic table, have higher electronegativity values than the metals.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
Silicon (Obtained from Sand (SiO2)) is the element that is primarily used in appliances to make electronic chips.
Answer;
A) Stage 1: Chlorophyll captures light energy. Stage 2: Light energy is converted to chemical energy.
Explanation;
-Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide to make organic compounds such as simple sugars together with release of oxygen.
-The process occurs in tow stages; light-dependent stage and light independent stage. During light dependent stage, chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses it to split water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen atoms. In the light independent stage carbon (iv) dioxide is fixed and the result is organic compound; the light energy is converted to chemical energy.
