Select the lewis structure for xeo2f2 which correctly minimizes formal charges.

Chemistry

Answer:

explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Our aim is to draw a structure of XeO2F2 whith the least formal charges. We must remember that the compound has 34 valence electrons.

To obtain the least formal charges then Xe must have a total of twelve electrons on its valence shell instead of eight.

The other atoms around the central Xe atom are arranged as shown in the image attached.

The largest risks while designing a model to withstand a village include that the model does not mitigate the effects of the tsunami or only mitigates the effects partially, which would cause damages to the homes.

Designing a model to withstand the effect of any natural phenomenon such as an earthquake, fire or tsunami is not an easy task and will require the following cycle:

  • Designing the model.
  • Testing the model.
  • Making changes or designing a new model.

In the case of a model for tsunamis, it is likely the following problems occur:

  • The model does not protect the houses from tsunamis.
  • The model does not protect the houses completely.

This would lead to negative effects such as:

  • Damages in the houses.
  • Dead or injured people.
  • Destruction of infrastrcture.

Note: This question is incomplete because the context is missing; here is the missing part.

Non electrolytes are Pentacarbon decahydride, Phosphorus pentachloride, Glucose.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Non electrolytes do not exist as ions in aqueous solution. Since it does not get dissociated into ions, these non electrolytes do not conduct electricity when it is dissolved or it is heated or melted.

Pentacarbon decahydride is a non electrolyte.

Magnesium chloride is an electrolyte.

Copper phosphate is an electrolyte

Sulfur trioxide is an electrolyte.

Aluminum oxide is an electrolyte

Phosphorus pentachloride do not get dissociated into its ions so it is a non-electrolyte.

Glucose gets dissolved in water but do not dissociate into ions, so it is a non electrolyte.

Rank the following elements by effective nuclear charge, Zeff, for a valence electron. F LI Be B N
Stels [109]

Answer:

Rank in increasing order of effective nuclear charge:

  • Li < Be < B < N < F

Explanation:

This explains the meaning of effective nuclear charge, Zeff, how to determine it, and the calculations for a valence electron of each of the five given elements: F, Li, Be, B, and N.

<u>1) Effective nuclear charge definitions</u>

  • While the total positive charge of the atom nucleus (Z) is equal to the number of protons, the electrons farther away from the nucleus experience an effective nuclear charge (Zeff) less than the total nuclear charge, due to the fact that electrons in between the nucleus and the outer electrons partially cancel the atraction from the nucleus.

  • Such effect on on a valence electron is estimated as the atomic number less the number of electrons closer to the nucleus than the electron whose effective nuclear charge is being determined: Zeff = Z - S.

<u><em>2) Z eff for a F valence electron:</em></u>

  • F's atomic number: Z = 9
  • Total number of electrons: 9 (same numer of protons)
  • Period: 17 (search in the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons:  7 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 9 - 7 = 2
  • Zeff = Z - S = 9 - 2 = 7

<u><em>3) Z eff for a Li valence eletron:</em></u>

  • Li's atomic number: Z = 3
  • Total number of electrons: 3 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 1 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 1 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 3 - 1 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 3 - 2 = 1.

<em>4) Z eff for a Be valence eletron:</em>

  • Be's atomic number: Z = 4
  • Total number of electrons: 4 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 2 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 2 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 4 - 2 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 4 - 2 = 2

<u><em>5) Z eff for a B valence eletron:</em></u>

  • B's atomic number: Z = 5
  • Total number of electrons: 5 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 13 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 3 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 5 - 3 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 5 - 2 = 3

<u><em>6) Z eff for a N valence eletron:</em></u>

  • N's atomic number: Z = 7
  • Total number of electrons: 7 (same number of protons)
  • Period: 15 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
  • Number of valence electrons: 5 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
  • Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 7 - 5 = 2
  • Z eff = Z - S = 7 - 2 = 5

<u><em>7) Summary (order):</em></u>

  Atom          Zeff for a valence electron

  • F                   7
  • Li                   1
  • Be                 2
  • B                   3
  • N                   5

  • <u>Conclusion</u>: the order is Li < Be < B < N < F

To change a liquid to a gas energy must be what​
laiz [17]

Answer:

Evaporation

Explanation:

Evaporation is the process of a liquid turning into its gaseous form. When a liquid hits its boiling point, it will evaporate and turn into gas. It can release vapor as well.
