Question

2. Fluorine is the only halogen that forms compounds with the noble gases. What is special about fluorine that might cause this unique reactivity? 3. Assign oxidation states and raw the Lewis structures of the following, clearly indicating the shape in each case: XeF. XeO, TeF PO?

Answer 1

0 or more ne is the most dectronegative element of the periodic table, so l can four bonds will alress any elevrent to gaur are electron so that it can fulfill && octale to gain stability A the uople goles are the crable elements i generally forms bonde with other elements bet due to the very high neprongoticity of frowne it forms bonds with jutrine. 3) i) Xeta – nere xe is in +4 oxidation state structure - - - () – Xe c. Xe Square planar -4 Here te is in to state oxidation 0 xeo – structure - t=0 = xe = 0 so Pyramadal 50: . Here il) Tefé Te is in straté 4 oxidation shrutture - 2 f Tetrahedral - F? if

in) 103 - Here I r in th oxidation Mate strucheres 802 Tetrahedral @
