I WhatWhat is ment byment by covalency?

1 answer:

5 0

When an element shares electrons with other atoms of the same or different elements to acquire stable electronic configuration, it is called covalency. If an atom shares 1 electron, its covalency is equal to 1. ... It needs 3 electrons to complete its octet.

Which of the halide ions (f−, cl−, br−, and i−) is the most stable base? which is the least stable base?

Nezavi [6.7K]

You should take note that the question is about stability. A compound is stable if it does not easily react with other elements. Hence, its reactivity must be low. As you move down the group, reactivity decreases. So, the halide at the very bottom is the least reactive. It would then be logical that the most stable conjugate base is I⁻ and the least stable conjugate base is the most reactive which is F⁻.

seropon [69]

The molecule with higher dipole moment is COFH because the geometry of the molecule in the COF2 nearly cancel the dipolar moment of each other. To be more clear:

The dipolar moment is the vectorial sum of all bond moments in the molecule or dipolar moment of each bond. The dipolar moment of a molecule with three or more atoms is determined by bond polarity as their geometry.

COF2 has a trigonal planar structure which are symmetric. The electronegativity of oxygen is slightly different regarding fluor. So as you can see in the image, the electronic density is specially displaced to the fluor atoms, but either to the oxygen atom.

COFH has a trigonal structure but differs from COF2 because there is an hydrogen who is donating it's electronic density, so in this zone the electronic density is less than over oxygen or fluor. That makes bond angles be different between them.
