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 (10[1])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 levels. Body-centered cubic structures contain this many aggregate atoms per unit cell. This is the azimuthal quantum number of d (10[2])orbitals. This many lone pairs are present on the central atom of xenon (-5[1])tetrafluoride, making it square (10[1])planar. P-orbitals have this many “lobes.” For 10 points, linear molecules have how many electron groups situated around the central atom? (0[1])■END■
