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: TeF5 РОоз ХeF4 ХеОз

Answer 1

@ Fluorine is the only halogen that form compound with noble gases because it is most electronegative element present in periodic table Because of its high electronegativity it can ionize noble gases also. In noble gases only Helium & Neon are totally enert. Other noble gases can form compounds with Fluorine & Oxygen because of high electronega- -tivity. Xenon form most number of compounds. Xeoz Oxidakon state :- +4 Hybridization :- sp3d? Geomatery :- Square planner Oxidahon state :- +6 Hybridization :-sp3 Geomatery- Trigonal Pyramidal = e=0 PO4 oxidation state - +5 Tefs oxiclabion state :- +4 Hybridizalm :- sp3d2 Geomatery & square pyramidal Hybridization : sp3 Geomatery :- tetrahedral - DT atpol co- PLO =
