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

Answer:
IV
Explanation:
The complete question is shown in the image attached.
Let us call to mind the fact that the SN1 mechanism involves the formation of carbocation in the rate determining step. The order of stability of cabocations is; tertiary > secondary > primary > methyl.
Hence, a tertiary alkyl halide is more likely to undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction by SN1 mechanism since it forms a more stable cabocation in the rate determining step.
Structure IV is a tertiary alkyl halide, hence it is more likely to undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction by SN1 mechanism.
