What is the hybridization and shape for an XeF6 2+ molecule?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anna11 [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Xe:[Kr]4d¹⁰5(sp³d³)₆⁺² => Octahedral Geometry (AX₆)⁺²

Explanation:

Xe:[Kr]4d¹⁰(5s²5p₋₁²p₀²p₁²5d₋₂d₋₁d₀)⁺² => Xe[Kr]5(sp³d³)₆²

Ca. #Valence e⁻ = Xe + 6F - 2e⁻ = 1(8) + 6(7) - 2 = 48

Ca. #Substrate e⁻ = 6F = 6(8) = 48

#Nonbonded free pairs e⁻ = (V - S)/2 = (48 - 48)/2 = 0 free pairs

#Bonded pairs e⁻ = 6F substrates = 6 bonded pairs

BPr + NBPr = 6 + 0 = 6 e⁻ pairs => Geometry => [AX₆]⁺² => Octahedron

Xe:[Kr]4d¹⁰(5s²5p₋₁²p₀²p₁²5d₋₂d₋₁d₀)⁺² => Xe[Kr]5(sp³d³)₆⁺²    

XeF₆⁺² => 6(sp³d³) hybrid orbitals => Octahedral Geometry (AX₆)

How many moles of O2 are required to generate 18 moles of H2O in the given reaction? 2C8H18 + 25O2 16CO2 + 18H2O
Veronika [31]
There's a slight error in your equation. I think you were trying to present it like this:

2C8H18 + 25O2 -> 16CO2 + 18H2O

Mole Ratio
O2 : H20
25 : 18
? moles : 18 moles
(18/18)×25 : 18 moles

25 moles : 18 moles

Final answer would be 25 moles of O2. :)

If you have any doubts that you want to clarify with me, please ask me! :)
I will do my utmost best to help you.

rutherford's experiment indicated that matter was not as uniform as it appears what part of his experimental results implied thi
MaRussiya [10]

Rutherford theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.

This was famous Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment: he bombarded thin foil of gold with positive alpha particles (helium atom particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons).  

Rutherford observed the deflection of alpha particles on the photographic film and notice that most of alpha particles passed straight through foil.

That is different from Plum Pudding model, because it shows that most of the atom is empty space.

According to Rutherford model of the atom:

1) Atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.

2) Major space in an atom is empty.

3) Atoms nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electrons.  

4) An atom is electrically neutral.

How do newtons 3 laws relate ​
Lina20 [59]

Like all objects, rockets are governed by Newton's Laws of Motion. The First Law describes how an object acts when no force is acting upon it. So, rockets stay still until a force is applied to move them. Newton's Third Law states that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction".
