Seleninyl fluoride can be produced by the reaction of selenium oxychloride and potassium fluoride. [3]2 KF + SeOCl 2 → 2 KCl + SeOF 2. It can also be produced by the reaction of selenium tetrafluoride with water or selenium dioxide.
Structure [ edit ] The shape of the molecule is a distorted tetrahedron with the O-Se-O angle being 126.2°, the O-Se-F angle being 108.0° and F-Se-F being 94.1°. [ 3 ]
Lewis structure of a water molecule. Lewis structures – also called Lewis dot formulas, Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures (LEDs) – are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
The related compound FSSSF 3 has a similar structure, but with an extra sulfur atom in the chain. Thiothionyltetrafluoride, S=SF 4 may exist as a gas. It is less energetically favourable to FSSF 3 by 37 kJ/mol, but has a high energy barrier of 267 kJ/mol. [ 10 ] However it may disproportionate rapidly to sulfur and sulfur tetrafluoride. [ 10 ]
The number of electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom is determined after drawing the Lewis structure of the molecule, and expanding it to show all bonding groups and lone pairs of electrons. [1]: 410–417 In VSEPR theory, a double bond or triple bond is treated as a single bonding group. [1]
A valence bond structure resembles a Lewis structure, but when a molecule cannot be fully represented by a single Lewis structure, multiple valence bond structures are used. Each of these VB structures represents a specific Lewis structure. This combination of valence bond structures is the main point of resonance theory.
Disulfur difluoride has a chain structure F−S−S−F. The angle between the F a −S−S and S−S−F b planes is 87.9°, while the angles of F a −S−S and S−S−F b are equivalent, and are equal to 108.3°. Both S−F bonds are equivalent and their length is 163.5 pm, while the length of the S−S bond is 189 pm.
The most common Lewis bases are anions. The strength of Lewis basicity correlates with the pK a of the parent acid: acids with high pK a 's give good Lewis bases. As usual, a weaker acid has a stronger conjugate base. Examples of Lewis bases based on the general definition of electron pair donor include: simple anions, such as H − and F −
