Answer:
It changes size and shape
Explanation:
Proving Air Is Matter
One way to prove that air is made of matter is to blow up a balloon. Before you add air into the balloon, it is empty and shapeless. When you puff air into it, the balloon expands, so you know it is filled with something—air is taking up the space.
The shape of XeO₂F₂ is Trigonal bi-pyramidal see-saw tetrahedron (see attached pictures)
- As you said the hybridization of Xe here is sp³d so its geometry has to be Trigonal bi-pyramidal in which F atom located on axial positions but for the final shape we exclude lone pair on Xe to give
see-saw shape (see second picture)
- Remember that we have 5 pairs (4 bond pairs + 1 lone pair) and we have to place lone pair at equatorial position.
Answer:
2K +F₂→ 2KF
Explanation:
When we balance an equation, we are trying to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow.
On the left side of the arrow, there is 1 K atom and 2 F atoms. On the right, there is 1 K and 1 F atom.
Since the number of K atoms is currently balanced, balance the number of F atoms.
K +F₂→ 2KF
Now, that the number of F atoms is balanced on both sides, check if the number of K atoms are balanced.
<u>Left</u>
K atoms: 1
F atoms: 2
<u>Right</u>
K atoms: 2
F atoms: 2
The number of K atoms is not balanced.
2K +F₂→ 2KF
<u>Left</u>
K atoms: 2
F atoms: 2
<u>Right</u>
K atoms: 2
F atoms: 2
The equation is now balanced.
