Q. Is OF2 an ionic compound?

The melting point of oxygen difluoride( OF2) is around −223.8 °C or −370.8 °F. If we talk about the chemical composition of OF2, it consists of 1 Oxygen atom and 2 fluorine atoms. Accordingly, the two fluorine atoms form a single covalent bond with an oxygen atom.

Q. What kind of compound is OF2?

Oxygen difluoride

Q. What kind of bond is oxygen difluoride?

Oxygen difluoride, OF2 , is a polar molecule because it has a bent molecular geometry. This molecular geometry ensures that the dipole moments associated with the oxygen – fluoride bonds do not cancel each other out to produce a nonpolar molecule.

Q. Is OF2 an acid?

Oxygen difluoride will dissolve in water forming a neutral solution but will only slowly hydrolyse giving a solution containing HF which will be acidic. So your book is correct, at least in the short term, the solution will be neutral.

Q. Is SO3 Lewis acid or base?

The oxygen atom of the water molecule contains two lone pairs, so water is a Lewis base, while the sulfur atom in SO3 has only three electron regions, which makes SO3 Lewis acidic.

Q. Why SO3 is a Lewis acid?

SO3 to be a Lewis acid, it would have to react in such a way that it accepted a lone pair from some other atom or molecule (from a Lewis base). It turns out that sulfur very readily accepts electrons from other molecules, which is why it generally behaves as a Lewis acid.

Q. Is Na2O an acid?

Na2O or sodium oxide is a base as it is a metal oxide, and can’t qualify as an acid as it lacks H+ ion (bronsted lowry theory).

Q. Why SiCl4 is not a Lewis acid?

Lewis acid are those compounds who have incomplete octate or complete octate which is able to keep more electrons in its outer shell. Here more refers to greater than 8 electrons in its outermost orbit. Now, sicl4 is able to keep greater than 8 electrons in its outermost orbit. So it does not behave as a Lewis acid.

Q. Is SiCl4 acid or base?

The weakly acidic species, silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4), can be activated by binding of a strongly Lewis basic chiral phosphoramide, leading to in situ formation of a chiral Lewis acid.

Q. Is CCl4 a base or acid?

Carbon tetrachloride is NEITHER an acid nor a base.

Q. Why CCl4 is used as fire extinguisher?

Complete answer: CCl4is used as fire extinguishers under the name of pyrene. The dense vapours of carbon tetrachloride forms a protective layer on the burning objects and avoids the oxygen or air to come in contact with the fire from the burning objects and provides incombustible vapours.

Q. Which is soluble in CCl4?

Chloroform

Q. Is CCl4 flammable?

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a manufactured chemical. CCl4 is not flammable and does not dissolve very easily in water.

Q. What is the common name of CCl4?

Carbon tetrachloride

Q. What is the name for n2o4?

Dinitrogen Tetraoxide

Q. What is the Colour of CCl4?

Carbon tetrachloride

Q. What is the name for NI3?

Nitrogen Triiodide

Q. What would be the name for KBr?

POTASSIUM BROMIDE

Q. Why is NI3 explosive?

It is an extremely sensitive contact explosive: small quantities explode with a loud, sharp snap when touched even lightly, releasing a purple cloud of iodine vapor; it can even be detonated by alpha radiation….Nitrogen triiodide.
