Indicate whether each statement is true or false. Drag the appropriate statements to their respective bins. the octet rule is based on the fact that filling in all s and p valence electrons in a shell gives eight electrons. compounds in which nitrogen is the central atom are frequent exceptions to the octet rule because they have too many electrons surrounding the nitrogen. boron compounds are frequent exceptions to the octet rule because they have too few electrons surrounding the boron. the si in sih4 does not follow the octet rule because hydrogen is in an unusual oxidation state.

Explanation:

The octet rule simply means that atoms tend to be stable when they have eight electrons in their outermost shell. This rule mostly applies to the s and p orbitals and not to the d and f orbitals. The sum of the total electrons in the outermost s and p orbitals is often equal to eight for an atom to be considered stable, for example, the noble gases.

Boron often forms compounds which has less than eight electrons around the boron central atom because the compounds of boron often have a sextet of electrons owing to the fact that boron is trivalent and forms mostly covalent compounds.

Nitrogen compounds mostly obey the octet rule and do not have excess electrons. The oxidation state of hydrogen in SiH4 is not unusual.

answer: enthalpy

explanation:

for a exothermic reaction, the energy is released i.e. the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

= enthaply

= energy of products

= energy of reactants

as , thus comes out to be negative. negative value of enthalpy shows that the reaction is exothermic.

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
