In: Chemistry
a) Metals tend to have higher ionization energy than nonmetals -------------> false
reason: metal easily loose electrons form cation readily . so metals have lower IE than non-metals
b) The hydrogen atom is stable when it has a full octet of electrons -------------> false
reason : because hydrogen atom cannot acheive octet configuration in its outermost shell . it has only one 1s orbital in it . it will maximum get 2 electrons
c) The number of electrons domains (overall geometry) in PH3 molecule is four.-------------> true
d) Excitation of an electron from 5s orbital to 4d orbital is endothermic.-------------> true
