Question

This is the [emphasize] total number of symmetry operations in the C-sub-s and C-sub-i point groups, and the Mulliken symbol “E” corresponds to a degeneracy of this number in a point (10[1])group’s character table. This number is the denticity of the ox and en ligands. Donating this many electrons to a metal distinguishes L-type ligands in LXZ notation. In octahedral and tetrahedral metal complexes, d orbitals split into this many discrete (-5[1])energy levels. Body-centered cubic structures contain this many aggregate atoms per (-5[1])unit cell. This is the azimuthal (10[1])quantum number of d (10[1]-5[1])orbitals. This (-5[1])many lone pairs are present on the central atom of xenon (-5[1])tetrafluoride, (-5[1])making it square planar. P-orbitals have this many “lobes.” For 10 points, linear molecules have how many electron groups situated around the central (10[1])atom? (10[4]0[1])■END■
