Textbook Question
Chapter 6.6, Problem 9PPC
Elements in the same group exhibit similar chemistry and sometimes form analogous species. For example, nitrogen and phosphorus (both members of Group 5A) can combine with chlorine in a 1:3 ratio to form NCl3 and PCl3, respectively. Phosphorus can also combine with chlorine in a 1:5 ratio. Explain why nitrogen cannot.

a) The element Xenon (Xe) is rarely forming compounds. By knowing its position in
the periodic table. Explain why?
Mixing SbCl 3 and GaCl 3 in a one-to-one ratio gives a solid ionic compound of empirical formula GaSbCl 6 . A controversyerupts over whether this compound is [SbCl 2 ] + [GaCl 4 ] ─ or [GaCl 2 ] + [SbCl 4 ] ─ . It is learned that the cation in the compound has abent structure. Based on this fact, which combination is more likely to be correct? Explain.
Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties?
The key difference is that diamonds have other elements bonded within their structure.
The differences are explained by the number of covalent and ionic bonds within each substance.
The differences are explained by the density: graphite is very high and diamond is much lower.
The differences are explained by how the carbon atoms within each substance are covalently bonded together.
