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.

AsF3arrow_forwardWhat would be the chemical formula of an ionic compound formed by Al³⁺ and C₂H₃O₂⁻?arrow_forwardWould you expect the electronegativity of titanium to be the same in the species Ti, Ti 2+?, Ti 3+ ?, and Ti 4+?? Explain.arrow_forward
- Consider hypothetical elements X2 and Y2. Suppose the enthalpy of formation of the compound XY is – 84 kJ/mol, the bond energy for X2 is 105 kJ/mol, and the bond energy for Y2 is 58 kJ/mol. A)Estimate the XY bond energy, Ed, in units of kJ/mol. B)If the dissociation of a X-Y molecule were accomplished by the absorption of a single photon whose energy was exactly the quantity required, what would be its wavelength in nm? C)Would a green-light photon (λgreen=550 nm) be able to break the above X-Y bond? Explain.arrow_forwardMixing 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.arrow_forwardOn the basis of your knowledge of bonding in liquids and solids, which of the following has the lowest melting temperature? NaCl, Na, Cl2, SiO2arrow_forward
- Write the electron configurations for: Calcium ion in CaCl₂:arrow_forwardWhich of the following has the largest covalent radius ? Mg Ca Sr Baarrow_forwardUse the Born-Haber cycle to calculate the lattice energy of KF. [The heat of sublimation of K is 91.6 kJ·mol−1 and ΔfH(KF) = −567.3 kJ·mol−1. Bond enthalpy for F2 is 158.8 kJ·mol−1. Other data may be found in the Ionization Energies Table and the Electron Affinities Table.]arrow_forward
- 1) 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_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_forwardAnswer the questions in the table below about the shape of the phosphorus trifluoride (PF3) molecule. How many electron groups are around the central phosphorus atom? Note: one "electron group" means one lone pair, one single bond, one double bond, or one triple bond. What phrase best describes the arrangement of these electron groups around the central phosphorus atom? (You may need to use the scrollbar to see all the choices.) (choose one) X Śarrow_forward
