The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the octet is complete or incomplete for all atoms in the given compounds, we will analyze each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Al2Cl6 - **Structure**: Al2Cl6 is a dimer of AlCl3. - **Chlorine (Cl)**: Each chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons. In Al2Cl6, each Cl atom shares one electron with Al, completing its octet (7 + 1 = 8). - **Aluminum (Al)**: Aluminum has 3 valence electrons. In Al2Cl6, each Al atom shares electrons with 3 Cl atoms and also receives 2 electrons from the bridged Cl atoms, leading to a total of 6 electrons from the bonds and 2 from the dative bond (3 + 6 = 9). However, since it can expand its octet, it effectively achieves a stable configuration. - **Conclusion**: All atoms (4 Cl and 2 Al) have complete octets. ### Step 2: Analyze Al2CH6 - **Structure**: Al2CH6 involves aluminum and carbon. - **Carbon (C)**: Carbon has 4 valence electrons and forms bonds with aluminum. However, it does not have lone pairs to donate. - **Aluminum (Al)**: Each Al atom shares electrons with carbon, forming three-centered two-electron bonds. Each bond involves 2 electrons (1 from Al and 1 from C), leading to a total of 4 electrons for each Al atom (incomplete octet). - **Conclusion**: Not all atoms have complete octets. ### Step 3: Analyze AlF3 - **Structure**: AlF3 is an ionic compound. - **Fluorine (F)**: Each F atom has 7 valence electrons and gains 1 electron from Al, completing its octet (7 + 1 = 8). - **Aluminum (Al)**: Al loses 3 electrons, resulting in Al^3+ which has the electron configuration of neon (10 electrons). - **Conclusion**: All atoms (3 F and 1 Al) have complete octets. ### Step 4: Analyze BeCl2 - **Structure**: BeCl2 exists as a dimer. - **Chlorine (Cl)**: Each Cl atom shares electrons with Be, completing its octet. - **Beryllium (Be)**: Be has 4 valence electrons and shares 2 electrons with 2 Cl atoms. It also receives 2 electrons from bridged Cl atoms, totaling 6 electrons (incomplete octet). - **Conclusion**: Not all atoms have complete octets. ### Step 5: Analyze BeH2 - **Structure**: BeH2 also involves bridged hydrogens. - **Hydrogen (H)**: Each H atom has 1 valence electron and shares it with Be. - **Beryllium (Be)**: Similar to BeCl2, Be shares electrons with H, leading to a total of 6 electrons (incomplete octet). - **Conclusion**: Not all atoms have complete octets. ### Final Conclusion: - **Complete Octet**: Al2Cl6, AlF3 - **Incomplete Octet**: Al2CH6, BeCl2, BeH2 ### Summary: - **Complete for all atoms**: Al2Cl6, AlF3 - **Incomplete for all atoms**: Al2CH6, BeCl2, BeH2

To determine whether the octet is complete or incomplete for all atoms in the given compounds, we will analyze each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Al2Cl6 - **Structure**: Al2Cl6 is a dimer of AlCl3. - **Chlorine (Cl)**: Each chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons.

In Al2Cl6, each Al atom shares electrons with 3 Cl atoms and also receives 2 electrons from the bridged Cl atoms, leading to a total of 6 electrons from the bonds and 2 from the dative bond (3 + 6 = 9). However, since it can expand its octet, it effectively achieves a stable configuration. - **Conclusion**: All atoms (4 Cl and 2 Al) have complete octets. ...
