Boron nitride (BN) has a structure similar to graphite, but is a white insulator rather than a black conductor. It is synthesized by heating diboron trioxide with ammonia at about .
(a) Write a balanced equation for the formation of BN; water forms also.
(b) Calculate for the production of BN (of BN is ).
(c) Boron is obtained from the mineral borax, . How much borax is needed to produce 0.1kg of BN, assuming 72% yield?
What oxidation slates does show in its compounds?
Account for the following facts:
(a) have very nearly the same radii.
(b) is insoluble in water, but NaF is quite soluble.
(c) Molten is a poor electrical conductor, whereas molten is an excellent one
An important starting material for the manufacture of polyphosphazene is the cyclic molecule (NPCl2)3. The molecule has a symmetrical six-membered ring of alternating N and P atoms, with the Cl atoms bonded to the P atoms. The nitrogen phosphorus bond length is significantly less than that expected for an NP single bond.
(a) Draw a likely Lewis structure for the molecule.
(b) How many lone pairs of electrons do the ring atoms have?
(c) What is the order of the nitrogen-phosphorus bond?
Bismuth(V) compounds are such powerful oxidizing agents that they have not been prepared in pure form. How is this fact consistent with the location of Bi in the periodic table?
