To determine the total number of linear molecules or ions among the given list, where the hybridization of the central atom does not involve d-orbitals, we will analyze each molecule/ion step by step.Step 1: Analyze BeCl₂ -
The electronic structure of the metal di-cation is therefore not sufficient; the size of Mg2+ is relatively close to Zn2+ or Mn2+ [55]. We may tentatively assume, however, that because its electronic structure is different, the lack of d-orbitals hinders formation of Mg–X bonds even in...
The bonding situation was confirmed by a Mullikan analysis, and most states close to the Fermi level were assigned to non-bonding orbitals. Keywords: Zintl phase; direct band gap; structure prediction; semiconductor; DFT calculation1. Introduction Semiconductors have a variety of applications, like ...
