If the molecule has n-C2 axes perpendicular to its Cn axis, choose True. Otherwise, choose False. Be sure to build a model or draw the structure before selecting your answer. If needed, search for the molecular structure online or in a textbook.XeF4[PdCl4]2−naphthalenefuran, C4H4O

Answer:

XeF4 True

[PdCl4]2− True

naphthalene True

Furan False

C4H4O False

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Only XeF4; [PdCl4]2−; naphthalene are true. This is because their molecules contain -nC₂ axis which is perpendicular to the Cn axis. The image attached below shows the structural formula of each compound, there below, we can see that Furan only possesses one C₂ axis but not -nC₂ ⊥ C₂.

If the molecule has n-C2 axes perpendicular to its Cn axis, choose True. Otherwise-example-1
