Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Recall that according to Coulomb's law, energy is inversely proportional to the  square of the distance separating the charges. This implies that the smaller the distance of the charges apart, the greater the magnitude of energy.

Similarly, the bond energy of a bond is inversely proportional to the bond length of the bond. The shorter the bond length of the bond, the greater the bond energy.

Triple bonds are shorter than double bonds and double bonds are shorter than single bonds. This implies that triple bonds, having the shortest bonds, also has the highest bond energy and single bonds having the longest bond length, has the lowest bond energy.

Which one of the following molecules has an atom with an incomplete octet? A. BF3 B. GeH4 C. NF3 D. AsCl3 E. H2O
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

BF_{3} has an atom with incomplete octet

Explanation:

H atoms are generally excluded from octet rule as H atom has only one 1s orbital which can contain maximum two electrons.

At first, lewis structures of all molecules should be drawn. Then octet of an atom is determined by taking summation of all nonbonding electrons along with all bonding electrons corresponding to that atom.

If this summation is less than 8 then it is said that the atom has incomplete octet.

In BF_{3}, B atom has no nonbonding electons (i.e. lone pair). B atom is attached to three F atoms via three single bonds. Then total number of electrons corresponding to B atom are 6 ( one bond contains two electrons).

All other atoms (except H) in given molecules has complete octet.

So, BF_{3} has an atom with incomplete octet.

Lewis structures are shown below.
