Answer:
Ionic character
A. PF₃ > PBr₃ > PCl₃
B. BF₃ > CF₄ > NF₃
C. TeF₄ > BrF₃ > SeF₄
Explanation:
The most electronegative element is fluorine, followed chlorine, phosphorous nitrogen etc.
- Atoms with high electronegativity tend to form negative ions.
- Ionic compounds formed between elements with high electronegativity difference.
- % ionic character is directly proportional to electronegativity difference.
- According to Pauling Scale E.n for F(4.0), O(3.5), N(3.0), C(2.5), B(2.0), P(2.19), Se(2.55) , Te (2.1), Cl(3.16) and Br(2.96)
- ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( P and F = 4 - 2.19 = 1.81), (P and Br = 2.96 - 2.19 = 0.77) , (P and Cl = 3.16 - 2.96 = 0.2 )
- ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( N and F = 4 - 3 = 1), (B and F = 4 - 2 = 2) , (C and F = 4 - 2.5 = 1.5 )
- ΔE.N (Electronegativity difference) between( Se and F = 4 - 2.55 = 1.45), (F and Te = 4 - 2.1 = 1.9) , (F and Br = 4 - 2.19 = 1.81 )
Answer:-
Metalloids
Explanation:-
The stair step line is a line in the periodic table that divides the metals on one side and the non metals on the other side. So the elements which lie on the stair step line must have properties in between those exhibited by the metals and those by the non metals.
Such elements we know are called metalloids. Thus In the periodic table, the elements that are adjacent to the "stair step" are called metalloids.
For an element whose third shell contains six electrons, the appropriate electron configuration is; 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4.
The electron configuration shows the distribution of electrons in the shells of an atom and in orbitals.
We have been told that the six electrons are found in the third shell. This shell has n=3 and the configuration of this shell must ns2 np4.
The only electron configuration that meets this standard is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4.

I believe it would be CS and GE (option 3). i hope i helped ya out.
