In the Lewis structure for FeF3, how many lone pairs surround the iron atom? NEED ASAP
Select one:
a. 0
b. 1
c. 2
d. 3
Clear my choice

b. 1

Explanation:

If we consider it carefully we will notice that the electronic configuration of iron III is; [Ar] 3d5 4s0.

Now, three electrons from the d orbital are paired with the three electrons from three F atoms according to the valence bond theory. This leaves out one pair of electrons localized on the d orbital of iron.

Hence the compound has one lone pair of electrons.

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
