Arrange according to increasing Lewis acid character, `SiF_(4)`, `SiCl_(4)` `SiBr_(4)`. `Sil_(4)`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To arrange the compounds `SiF4`, `SiCl4`, `SiBr4`, and `SiI4` according to their increasing Lewis acid character, we need to consider the factors that influence Lewis acidity, particularly the electronegativity of the halogen atoms and the resulting electron-withdrawing effects. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Lewis Acids**: - Lewis acids are defined as species that can accept an electron pair. In this case, we are looking at silicon tetrahalides, which can accept electron pairs from Lewis bases. 2. **Identifying the Halogens**: ...
