Isovalent hybridization is used to explain bond angles of those molecules that is inconsistent with the generalized simple sp, sp 2 and sp 3 hybridization. For molecules containing lone pairs, the true hybridization of these molecules depends on the amount of s and p characters of the central atom which is related to its electronegativity.
Bromine pentafluoride, Br F 5, is an interhalogen compound and a fluoride of bromine.It is a strong fluorinating agent.. BrF 5 finds use in oxygen isotope analysis. Laser ablation of solid silicates in the presence of BrF 5 releases O 2 for subsequent analysis. [2]
Shape of water molecule showing that the real bond angle 104.5° deviates from the ideal sp 3 angle of 109.5°. In chemistry, Bent's rule describes and explains the relationship between the orbital hybridization and the electronegativities of substituents. [1] [2] The rule was stated by Henry A. Bent as follows: [2]
Bromine trifluoride is an interhalogen compound with the formula BrF 3. At room temperature, it is a straw-coloured liquid with a pungent odor [5] which decomposes violently on contact with water and organic compounds. It is a powerful fluorinating agent and an ionizing inorganic solvent.
This compound is the only known interhalogen compound where the larger atom is carrying seven of the smaller atoms. All attempts to synthesize bromine or chlorine heptafluoride have met with failure; instead, bromine pentafluoride or chlorine pentafluoride is produced, along with fluorine gas.
Chlorine pentafluoride is an interhalogen compound with formula ClF 5. This colourless gas is a strong oxidant that was once a candidate oxidizer for rockets. The molecule adopts a square pyramidal structure with C 4v symmetry, [1] as confirmed by its high-resolution 19 F NMR spectrum. [2] It was first synthesized in 1963. [3]
The compound forms a colorless volatile liquid that decomposes at temperatures above 10 °C. It is highly reactive and unstable, [ 4 ] and corrodes glass at room temperature. Chemical properties
Homoaromaticity, in organic chemistry, refers to a special case of aromaticity in which conjugation is interrupted by a single sp 3 hybridized carbon atom. Although this sp 3 center disrupts the continuous overlap of p-orbitals, traditionally thought to be a requirement for aromaticity, considerable thermodynamic stability and many of the spectroscopic, magnetic, and chemical properties ...
