Which of the following statements is/are true? This question has multiple correct options
- A. It is impossible to satisfy the octet rule for all atoms in \( X e F_{2} \)
- B. \( M g S O_{4} \) is soluble in water because hydration energy of \( M g S O_{4} \) is higher in comparison to its lattice energy.
- C. The bond in \( N O^{+} \) should be stronger than the bond in \( N O^{-} \)
- D. For ozone molecule, one oxygen-oxygen bond is stronger than the other oxygen-oxygen bond.
Step-by-step solution
In XeF2, xenon has 10 valence electrons (two bonding pairs and three lone pairs), exceeding the octet. Thus, xenon does not satisfy the octet rule, while fluorine atoms do. Therefore, it is impossible for all atoms to satisfy the octet rule.
