Answer:
A (Hypothesis) is scientific knowledge published through direct observation and remains constant scientific knowledge can change when scientists (generate hypothesis)
<span>Xe = VIII = 8 valence electrons
F = VII = 4 (7 ve) = 28 valence electrons</span>
total ve = 8 + 28 = 36 ve
<span>36 - 4(2) = 28 ve
(there are 2 electrons in each bond x 4 bonds)</span>
<span>28 - 4(6) = 4
(We assign the remaining electrons to F atoms)</span>
<span>4 - 2(2) = 0
(Therefore 4 electrons left => we have 2 lone pairs)</span>
The steric number = No. of
σ bonds + #lone pairs
= 4 σ bonds + 2 lone pairs
= 6 => d²sp³ (6 hybrid orbitals)
<span>4 bonds + 2 lone pairs
=> square planar</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
Here, we want to write the equilibrium constant expression
To write this, we raise the concentrations of the reactants and products to the coefficient before them. These concentrations are represented by square brackets in which the chemical formula of the compound is placed
We place the representation of the products over that of the reactants
We have the expression written as follows:
