Solved: Visualizing ConceptsConsider the A2X4 molecule

Chapter , Problem 5E

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider the \(A_{2} X_{4}\) molecule depicted here, where \(A \text { and } X\) are elements. The \(A \neg A\) bond length in this molecule is \(d 1\), and the four \(A-X\) bond lengths are each \(d_{2}\).

(a) In terms of \(d_{1} \text { and } d_{2}\), how could you define the bonding atomic radii of atoms \(A \text { and } X\)?

(b) In terms of \(d_{1} \text { and } d_{2}\), what would you predict for the \(X-X\) bond length of an \(X 2\)  molecule? [Section 7.3]
