Question

When PCl5 solidifies, it ionizes according to the following equation:

2PCl5 → (PCl4)+ + (PCl6)

Choose the correct molecular geometry of the phosphorus atom in each of these ions from the list below:

A) linear
B) T-shape
C) trigonal bipyramid
D) seesaw
E) square plane
F) bent
G) icosahedral
H) square pyramidal
I) trigonal pyramid
J) tetrahedron
K) octahedron
L) None of the above

1.     Enter two letters that correspond to PCl6 and PCl4+ in order, e.g. AB, DC, EA, etc.

2.     From the list of geometries provided above, determine the correct molecular shapes of XeF4, GeF4, and SeF4. (Enter three letters that correspond to XeF4, GeF4, SeF4 in order, e.g. ABC, DCE, EBA, etc.)

3.     From the list of geometries provided above, determine the correct molecular shapes of SiCl4, CdCl42−, and BeCl42−. (Enter three letters that correspond to SiCl4, CdCl42−, and BeCl42− in order, e.g. ABC, DCE, EBC, etc.)

4.     Iodine forms three compounds with chlorine: ICl, ICl3, and ICl5. Choose the correct molecular shapes from the list of geometries provided above. (Enter three letters that correspond to ICl, ICl3 and ICl5 in order, e.g. ABC, DCA, EBC, etc.)
