- 2-98 Explain how the ionization energy of atoms changes when proceeding down a group of the Periodic Table and explain why this change occurs.arrow_forward(a) Describe the molecule xenon trioxide, XeO3, using four possible Lewis structures, one each with zero, one, two, or three Xe—O double bonds. (b) Do any of these resonance structures satisfy the octet rule for every atom in the molecule? (c) Do any of the four Lewis structures have multiple resonance structures? If so, how many resonance structures do you find? (d) Which of the Lewis structures in (a) yields the most favorable formal charges for the molecule?arrow_forwardWrite the electron configuration for the monatomic ions formed from the following elements (which form the greatest concentration of monatomic ions in seawater):(a) Cl(b) Na(c) Mg(d) Ca(e) K(f) Br(g) Sr(h) Farrow_forward
- Which of the following sets contains an ionic compound, a molecular compound, and an acid, in that order? (A) Al2O3, B2O3, CH3OH; (B) CaCl2, NH4Cl, HCl; (C) CH3F, COCl2, HOCl; (D) CoCl2, COCl2, HClO2.arrow_forwardFor many years after they were discovered, it was believed that the noble gases could not form compounds. Now we know that belief to be incorrect. A mixture of xenon and fluorine gases, confined in a quartz bulb and placed on a windowsill, is found to slowly produce a white solid. Analysis of the compound indicates that it contains 77.55% Xe and 22.45% F by mass.(a) What is the formula of the compound?(b) Write a Lewis structure for the compound.(c) Predict the shape of the molecules of the compound.(d) What hybridization is consistent with the shape you predicted?arrow_forwardGiven the following types of atoms, decide which type of bonding, ionic or covalent, is most likely to occur: (a) two oxygen atoms; (b) four hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom; (c) a potassium atom (3919 K) and a fluorine atom (19 9F).arrow_forward
- (c) Theoretically, define the following elements in the formulae belowPth = ρghq x ŋarrow_forwardWhich of the following compounds are likely to have covalent bonds or are likely to have ionic bonds ? (a) CF4 (b) NaF (c) CH4 (d) MgBr2arrow_forwardAnswer true or false. (a) The octet rule refers to the chemical bonding patterns of the first eight elements of the Periodic Table. (b) The octet rule refers to the tendency of certain elements to react in such a way that they achieve an outer shell of eight valence electrons. (c) In gaining electrons, an atom becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. (d) When an atom forms an ion, only the number of valence electrons changes; the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus does not change. (e) In forming ions, Group 2A elements typically lose two electrons to become cations with a charge of 12. (f) In forming an ion, a sodium atom (1s22s22p63s1) completes its valence shell by adding one electron to fill its 3s shell (1s22s22p63s2). (g) The elements of Group 6A typically react by ac- cepting two electrons to become anions with a charge of 22. (h) With the exception of hydrogen, the octet rule applies to all elements in periods 1, 2, and 3. (i) Atoms and the ions derived from…arrow_forward
