Answer:
The number of positive charges in nucleus of an atoms are equal to the atomic number and also positive charges are equal to the negative charges which are electrons in neutral atom.
Explanation:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
Electron:
The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.
Symbol= e⁻
Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg
It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.
Neutron and proton:
Neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.
Symbol of proton= P⁺
Symbol of neutron= n⁰
Mass of proton=1.672623×10⁻²⁷ Kg
Mass of neutron=1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.
For example
The carbon have six protons and six neutrons so its atomic mass is 12 amu and atomic number is six.
The shape of XeO₂F₂ is Trigonal bi-pyramidal see-saw tetrahedron (see attached pictures)
- As you said the hybridization of Xe here is sp³d so its geometry has to be Trigonal bi-pyramidal in which F atom located on axial positions but for the final shape we exclude lone pair on Xe to give
see-saw shape (see second picture)
- Remember that we have 5 pairs (4 bond pairs + 1 lone pair) and we have to place lone pair at equatorial position.
