Textbook Question
In Table 7.8, the bonding atomic radius of neon is listed as
58 pm, whereas that for xenon is listed as 140 pm. A classmate
of yours states that the value for Xe is more realistic
than the one for Ne. Is she correct? If so, what is the basis
for her statement?

Textbook Question
The As ¬ As bond length in elemental arsenic is 2.48 Å. The Cl ¬ Cl bond length in Cl2 is 1.99 Å. (a) Based on these data, what is the predicted As ¬ Cl bond length in arsenic trichlo- ride, AsCl3, in which each of the three Cl atoms is bonded to the As atom?

Textbook Question
The following observations are made about two hypothetical
elements A and B: The A¬A and B¬B bond lengths in the
elemental forms of A and B are 236 and 194 pm, respectively.
A and B react to form the binary compound AB2, which has
a linear structure (that is B-A-B = 180°). Based on these
statements, predict the separation between the two B nuclei
in a molecule of AB2.
