Question

This is the [emphasize] total number of symmetry operations in the C-sub-s and C-sub-i point (-5[1])groups, and the Mulliken symbol “E” corresponds to a degeneracy of this number in a point 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 energy (-5[1])levels. (-5[1])Body-centered cubic structures contain this many aggregate atoms per unit (-5[1])cell. This is the azimuthal quantum number of d (10[2])orbitals. This (10[1])many lone pairs are present on the central atom of xenon tetrafluoride, making it square planar. P-orbitals have this many “lobes.” For 10 (10[1])points, linear molecules have how many electron groups situated around the central (10[1])atom? (10[1]0[2])■END■
