What is the Lewis dot diagram structure for PI2F
1 answer:
Answer:
Please find attached the completed Lewis dot diagram structure for PI₂F
Explanation:
The number of valence electrons are;
Phosphorus = 5 Electrons
Iodine = 2 × 7 electrons = 14 electrons
Chlorine = 7 electrons
The total number of valence electrons = 14 + 7 + 5 = 26 electrons
2) We draw the symbol that represents the basic (general) structure of the molecule as follows;
The sheared electron pair are represented by single bond lines
3) We complete the octet structures round the fluorine and the iodine atoms as attached showing 18 electrons plus 6 shared electron pairs, with a maximum from step 2 to give a total of (18 + 6) 24 electron pairs
4) We add the 2 unaccounted valence electron on the phosphorus atom to give it the stable octet structure, which gives the completed Lewis structure

Alkaline earth metal are the elements present in II group in the periodic table and are known as 'Metals' and have a charge of +2.
Alkaline earth metals - Be , Mg Ca, Sr , Ba, Ra
Halogens are present in VII A group in the periodic table and are 'Non-metals' and have a charge of -1.
Halogens - F, Cl, Br, I, At
When Alkaline earth metal (metals) combine with Halogens (non-metals) the compound formed will be ionic compound and the formula of the compound will be based on the charges of the element.
When we write the formula of the ionic compound the charges of the elements get criss crossed.
For example - Mg (Alkaline earth metal) have a charge of +2 and Cl (Halogen) have a charge of -1 and when they combine to form the formula their charges get criss crossed and we will get or
When an alkaline earth metal, A, reacts with a halogen, X, the formula of the Ionic compound formed should be
