Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Between which periods, Group 6A (16) hydrides shows an abrupt change in the molecular property down the group has to be explained.
(b)
Interpretation:
Group 6A(16) hydrides shows an abrupt change in the molecular property down the group has to be explained in terms of change in the molecular property.
Concept-Introduction:
Bond angle: It is defined as the angle between the orbital contacting bonding electron pair around the central atom in a molecule ion. Bond angle is expressed in degree.
Hybridization is the mixing of valence atomic orbitals to get equivalent hybridized orbitals that having similar characteristics and energy.
Geometry of a molecule can be predicted by knowing its hybridization.
(c)
Interpretation:
Group 6A (16) hydrides shows an abrupt change in the molecular property down the group has to be explained in terms of change in hybridization.
