Chapter 12, Problem 60E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An explanation as to how five or six electron pairs around a central atom are possible when there are only four valence electrons from the s and p orbitals.

Concept introduction:

The number of bonds formed by an atom is generally explained by the octet rule. The octet rule states that there can be a maximum of eight valence electrons around an atom to attain stability. So, if the number of valence electrons in an atom is x, then the number of bonds that atom will be making is 8x in order to complete its octet.

A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential Ered +1.26 V. An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least 1.10 V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions. Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the anode of the cell. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the minimum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no lower limit, check the "no" box..
