Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The interstitial hydrides are to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Hydrogen is known to be first element of the periodic table. It is also the lightest element.
Hydrogen contains one electron and one proton.
Its atomic form exists only at high temperatures.
Hydrogen forms more compounds as compared to the other elements.
The ground state electronic configuration of hydrogen is
Hydrogen resembles the halogens (group 7A) in that it forms hydride
Dihydrogen undergoes with a number of elements in order to form binary compounds called hydrides.
Hydrides are classified into three types, that are ionic hydrides, covalent hydride, and interstitial hydrides

- A mixture of xenon and fluorine was heated. A sample of the white solid that formed reacted with hydrogen to yield 81 mL of xenon (at STP) and hydrogen fluoride, which was collected in water, giving a solution of hydrofluoric acid. The hydrofluoric acid solution was titrated, and 68.43 mL of 0.3172 M sodium hydroxide was required to reach the equivalence point. Determine the empirical formula for the white solid and write balanced chemical equations for the reactions involving xenon.arrow_forwardDescribe the basic properties of Chlorite.arrow_forwardWhat is the valence electron configuration for the Group 3A elements?
