Chapter 14, Problem 14.76P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

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 Introduction

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 Introduction

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.
