Chapter 5, Problem 183IP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The element X is identified. The Lewis structure and the molecular structure of the compound ${\text{XF}}_{\text{5}}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The Lewis structure also known as Lewis electron dot structure, represents the bonding between the lone pairs of electrons and the atoms that exist in the molecule. The Lewis structure is drawn by determining the valence electrons in the element.

To determine: The element X. The Lewis structure and the molecular structure of the compound ${\text{XF}}_{\text{5}}$.
