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 (-5[1])complexes, d orbitals split into this many discrete energy levels. Body-centered cubic structures contain this many (-5[1])aggregate atoms per unit (-5[1])cell. This is the azimuthal quantum number of d orbitals. This (10[1])many lone pairs are present on the central atom of xenon tetrafluoride, making it square (10[1])planar. (-5[1])P-orbitals have this many “lobes.” For 10 points, linear (10[1])molecules have how many electron groups situated around the central atom? (10[3]0[1])■END■
