Determine whether each of the following can have stereoisomers (linkage, exchange of ligands, cis/trans). (enantiomers/optical isomers) A. [Pt(NH3)4I2]2+; has stereoisomers-cis/trans B. [Zn(en)F2]; does not have stereoisomers Answer 1: Correct! has stereoisomers-cis/trans Answer 2: Correct! does not have stereoisomers

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
