AsF3 (Arsenic trifluoride) Molecular Geometry, Bond Angles
Transcription
Let's take a look at the molecular geometry and bond angles for AsF5. We'll start by looking at the Lewis structure for AsF5. We have an Arsenic atom surrounded by 5 Fluorine atoms. We use the AXN notation to determine the molecular geometry. A, that's the central atom, in this case Arsenic; X, that's the number of atoms bonded to that central atom. We have 5, five Fluorines, and N, that's the nonbonding electron pairs. Here we don't have any nonbonding electron pairs on the central atom, so we won't worry about N. Looking at our table here, we go down and find AX5, that means that our molecule here, AsF5, is going to have a trigonal bipyramidal shape. The bond angles will be 120 and 90. For the trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry, this angle right here is going to be 90 degrees, and that's the same as this angle right here. So those are both 90 degrees. Along this angle right here, we have 120 degrees. That's the same angle as this one here, and then right here. So that's the molecular geometry for AsF5, and the bond angles. I'm Dr. B., and thanks for watching.
Synthesis
Arsenic pentafluoride can be prepared by direct combination of arsenic and fluorine:[3]
- 2As + 5F2 → 2AsF5
It can also be prepared by the reaction of arsenic trifluoride and fluorine:
- AsF3 + F2 → AsF5
or the addition of fluorine to arsenic pentoxide or arsenic trioxide.
- 2As2O5 + 10F2 → 4AsF5 + 5O2
- 2As2O3 + 10F2 → 4AsF5 + 3O2
Properties
Arsenic pentafluoride is a colourless gas and has a trigonal bipyramidal structure.[3] In the solid state the axial As−F bond lengths are 171.9 pm and the equatorial 166.8 pm. [3] Its point group is D3h.
Reactions
Arsenic pentafluoride forms halide complexes and is a powerful fluoride acceptor. An example is the reaction with sulfur tetrafluoride, forming an ionic hexafluoroarsenate complex.[4]
- AsF5 + SF4 → SF3+ + AsF6−
Safety
Arsenic pentafluoride is an extremely dangerous toxin, mainly poisoning liver cells. It has a smell that is similar to vinyl chloride gas.[citation needed]
