What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the sigma bond between Cl and F in chlorine trifluoride, ClF3

Chemistry

Umnica [9.8K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

sp³d¹ hybridization

Explanation:

Given Cl as central element with three F substrates ...

The VSEPR structure indicates 5 hybrid orbitals that contain 2 diamagnetic orbitals (non-bonded e⁻-pairs) and 3 paramagnetic orbitals (single, non-paired electron for covalent bonding with fluorine) giving a trigonal bypyrimidal parent with a T-shaped geometry.

Valence bond theory predicts the following during bonding:

Cl:[Ne]3s²3p²p²p¹3d⁰

=> [Ne]3s²p²p¹p¹d¹

=> [Ne]3(sp³d)²(sp³d)²(sp³d)¹(sp³d)¹(sp³d)¹

giving 3 ( [Cl](sp³d) - [F]2p¹ ) sigma bonds and 2 non-bonded pairs on Cl.

Note the following images:

Non-bonded electron pairs are in plane of parent geometry and Fluorides covalently bonded to central element Chloride forming the T-shaped geometry.

Identify the compounds that are soluble in both water and hexane. identify the compounds that are soluble in both water and hexa
Reika [66]
<span>The correct answer would be the fourth option. The compounds ethanol and 1-propanol are soluble to both water and hexane. Ethanol and 1-propanol are completely soluble in water as they both contain a polar end due to the hydrogen bonding present in the -OH functional group. Both are soluble in hexane since both contains a non polar end, the aliphatic hydrocarbon chain. Solubility of alcohols varies increasingly as the hydrocarbon chain increases since it makes them more non polar. However, for branched molecules, non polar properties would decrease. So, the best option from the list of choices would be ethanol and 1-propanol.</span>

1. Calculate the RFM of Fe(NO3)2
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The Relative Formula Mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ is 179.8524 grams

Explanation:

The Relative Formula Mass is the mass of one mole of a compound expressed in grams, obtained by adding together the Relative Atomic Masses, RAM, of the elements which makes the compound

The Relative Formula Mass of a compound is the same as its Relative Molecular Mass

The relative formula mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ is given as follows;

The relative atomic mass of Fe = 55.845 amu

The relative atomic mass of nitrogen, N = 14.0067 amu

The relative atomic mass of oxygen, O = 15.999 amu

Therefore, we have;

The formula mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ = (55.845 + 2×(14.0067 + 3×15.999)) amu = 179.8524 amu

The Relative Formula Mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ = 179.8524 grams.
