I have watch the ''expansion of the octet'' then this video; honestly i am more than ready. feel like a primer now 😊 your doing a great staff thank you!! keep creating well done.
@@AHMEDAli-rt7wy Yes! Here is a link to my Bonding Playlist that has several VSEPR videos. Begin with VSEPR Practice 2-4 Electron Domains. Thanks! ru-vid.com/group/PL0xN_H1gE3VcZU8nlJodMXhOuXoR5kX26
No, because F has 7 valence electrons. Adding 2 electrons from a coordinate covalent bond would give it a total of 9 electrons. Thanks got your question Revajalan!
@@OldSchoolChemistry OK Ma'am Thank you :) One last thing - IN COORDINATE BOND 2 ELECTRONS ARE DONATED, RIGHT? Ma'am the thing is that I am a little curious grade 10th student and we don't have this in our syllabus. But u know CURIOUS MIND, always back of learning something new. I want to say that your teaching is just so smooth.I really love the way u explain things, I am able to understand it very well now. Loads of Thank you to u 😊❤
Hi Dinakhaled, Here is a great explanation from Google. Thank you for your question:) www.google.com/search?q=why+does+xenon+form+compounds+if+it+has+a+full+octet&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS1005US1005&oq=why+does+xenon+form+compounds+if+it+has+a+full+octet&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRirAjIHCAMQIRirAtIBCTE0OTgyajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
If SiO2 can form a network covalent structure (Quartz crystal), could XeF2 possibly form a network covalent structure (perhaps by expanding the Xe to 12 electrons) ?
Hi Erik, I don't know. Quartz is a linear molecular and electron geometry. XeF2 molecular linear but with trigonal bipyramidal electron geometry. I don't know if that would make a difference (5 electron domains and 10 electrons around the central atom). This is outside of my wheelhouse. It is good to ask these questions though! Thanks:)
@@OldSchoolChemistry TYVM! You obviously understand your valence electrons, perhaps you could take the time explain what makes diamond unstable at standard conditions? Some kind of repulsion? Nucleus-nucleus (protons vs. protons) repulsion? And/or core (1s) electrons vs. core (1s) electrons bumping into each other, from either end of the bond? Is there any way that could tell us, what would happen, if you managed to create a diamond-like structured material, from (say) B- or N+ ions?
@@eriknelson2559 Hi Erik, I wish I could be more helpful. I recommend you visit a material science professor. They would love to visit with you. I hope it goes well! Thanks:)
@@gemarmalapira7485 In reality every bond is a mixture of both a covalent and ionic bond (with varying degrees of each). You do not need to know that in a first year gen chem class. At this level of chemistry place metal + nonmetal compounds in the ionic category. In this the metal loses electrons to become a cation and a nonmetal gains electrons to become an anion. The cation and anion then form a bond through electrostatic forces. I hope that helps!
