1. Is hydrazine a stronger or weaker base than ammonia? Explain the reason for the difference in basicity.

Answer: Hydrazine is weak base than ammonia. 2. Draw the Lewis structure and sketch the molecular shape of peroxydifluorosulfate (S2O6F2). Why is it a very strong oxidant? Give an example of its application. 3. When highly pure, BrF3 is a faintly yellow, almost colorless, and liquid. When left standing for several days or weeks in a glass container capped with a brass valve, the liquid turns deeper yellow and finally has a red/brown color. (a) What is reaction(s) and impurity is responsible for the color change? (b) How can the colored liquid be repurified? (c) Explain whether each of the following container materials would be suitable for storing BrF3: Ni (m), PTFE, and Ti (m). 4. using an MO approach, explain the difference in N-N and C-C bond energies in N2O4 and C2O42, respectively.
