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:
Because you can physically see the object melting when it comes to the melting point. The objects texture, color, temperature, shape, and state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) are possibly changing.
The answer you're looking for is: a wave.
