Answer:

It is trigonal planer b/c the structure has 3 bonded pairs of electrons and 0 nonbonded pairs.

Explanation:

Valence no. = 1Ga + 3F = 1(3) + 3(7) = 24 valence electrons

Substrate no. = 3F = 3(8) = 24 electrons in bonds

No. of nonbonded pairs of electrons = V - S / 2 = 24 -24 / 2 = 0

Bonded Pairs of electrons = 3 (3 substrates attached by covalent bonds to central element of compound)

Parent structure = Non bonded Prs + Bonded Prs = 0+ 3 = 3

Therefore parent structure and geometry are based on an AX₃ configuration which is trigonal planer.

List six elements with only 1 electron in an s orbital

Verdich [7]

Answer:

$Lithium=Li2s^1\\Sodium=Na3s^1\\Potassium=K4s^1\\Rubidium=Rb5s^1\\Cesium=Cs6s^1\\Francium=Fr7s^1$

Explanation:

When it comes to electron configuration and orbitals, it's important to first identify what exactly we are trying to identify. Below is a given example:

$He1s^2$

$He=element$

$1=level$

$s=orbital$

$(exponent)^2=electrons$

Looking at the periodic table, identify the alkali metal family on the periodic table, or group one elements:

$Lithium=Li2s^1\\Sodium=Na3s^1\\Potassium=K4s^1\\Rubidium=Rb5s^1\\Cesium=Cs6s^1\\Francium=Fr7s^1$

Notice how each configuration has an exponent of $1$ , representative of a single electron in their s-orbital.

One atom of an element possesses 80 protons, 80 electrons, and 121 neutrons. Given this information, what is the atomic mass of

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

I think the answer is 4) 41

Explanation:

APE= atomic number, proton and the electrons are the same number

MAN= mass = atomic number - neutrons

121 - 80 = 41

i haven't done this in a while so hope this helps :)

How many of these transition metals have you heard of before?

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

38 elements or Element 31: Gallium Element 32: Germanium Element 33: Arsenic Element 34: Selenium Element 35: Bromine Element .

Explanation:

How many transition metals are there?

The 38 elements in groups 3 through 12 of the periodic table are called "transition metals". As with all metals, the transition elements are both ductile and malleable, and conduct electricity and heat.
