Interpretation:
The difference in electronegativity between the atoms in the given ionic compound, which one is more ionic and the melting point of
Concept introduction:
The nature of an atom to attract the pair of electrons that are bonded towards each other is called as electronegativity.
Electronegativity increases in a period from left to right due to atomic size decreases and nuclear charge increases from going left to right in a period.
Ionic compounds have to tendency to breakup into their positive and negatively charged ions when they are dissolved into solution.
Melting point:
A substance changes from solid to a liquid state at a particular temperature and this temperature is called meting point.

- For 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_forward1) How does the octet rule explain the formation of a chloride ion? a) What noble gas is isoelectronic with the chloride ion? b) Why are Group 17 (7A) elements found in many compounds but not group 18 (8A) elements?arrow_forwardWhy is BrF₄⁻ square planar, whereas BF₄⁻ is tetrahedral?arrow_forward
