QUESTION:
(c) Write the formulas for the analogous species of the elements of period 3; would you expect them to have the same hybridization at the central atom?
ANSWER:Problem 9.54:(c) Write the formulas for the analogous species of the elements of period 3; would you expectthem to have the same hybridization at the central atomSolution 9.54:Step 1: Here, we have to write the formulas for the analogous species of the elements of period 3The elements of period 3 in the periodic table are:Aluminium(Al), Valence electrons = 3 ( Group IIIA) Silicon (Si), Valence electrons = 4 ( Group IVA)phosphorous (P), Valence electrons = 5 ( Group VA)Sulfur (S), Valence electrons = 6 ( Group VIA)Chlorine (Cl), Valence electrons = 7 ( Group VIIA)Thus, the formulas for the analogous species of the elements of period 3 are given below: +AlH ,4SiH , P4 4
